What is Girl Scouts at Home?

Girl Scouts at Home brings the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to the girl. Through this program girls can attend virtual badge workshops to complete steps towards earning badges, come together in informal gatherings and connect with sister Girl Scouts through virtual weekend programs. 

Beyond the girls, Girl Scouts at Home is also a resource for volunteers, parents, and guardians alike, offering chances for volunteers to complete training virtually or connect with other volunteers to exchange ideas and advice. Girl Scouts at Home also offers parents a place to find safe and fun activities for their children that they can do outdoors or in the comfort of their own home.
