Camp

Girls need connection more than ever, and camp is the perfect place for it. Whether you’re joining us at a program event as a family or reserving a camp property for your next troop meeting, we can’t wait to see you around the campfire! Taking girls outside can be a fun time for everyone as girls develop outdoor skills and a passion for nature.

Volunteer Toolkit

The Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) is a fully customizable digital planning tool accessible on all computers, tablets, or mobile devices. The VTK provides you with Girl Scout program content, award requirements, and other resources. Girls have more fun when they can shape their own experience, do hands-on activities, and work together as teams. With the VTK, you can take the guesswork out of planning and spend more time exploring topics with girls!

Troop Year Plans

Ready to plan your troop year? Our age-appropriate troop year plans are the best tool for first year troop leaders to get started with Girl Scouts without getting overwhelmed. The entire year is mapped out—just follow along to help your Girl Scouts complete badge activities, improve their communities, and explore the world around them.

Rallyhood

Meet other Girl Scout volunteers and families from across western Ohio and southeastern Indiana. Share great ideas, get support from council staff, and learn from your Girl Scout sisters on Rallyhood. You'll be the first to know about Girl Scout events and opportunities when you join Rallyhood—don't miss out!

Trainings 

You deserve a volunteer experience that’s enriching and impactful. Rewarding and comprehensive. We're providing you with the necessities to make the most of your volunteer experience, including a variety of resources and training opportunities available on gsLearn and in person.

Podcast

The Girl Scout motto is be prepared, and this includes you—our volunteers! The Be Prepared Podcast is here to support you with a variety of resources on the topics you care about.
