 COVID-19 UPDATE
 GSOSW is excited to be offering a handful of in-person events this
 summer! GSOSW has collaborated with our program partners to ensure
 that all COVID-19 In-Person Troop/Group Meeting Guidelines laid out in
 Girl Scouts Together will be upheld and followed at all in-person events.
 Girl Scouts who are attending in-person events are required to sign the
 GSOSW Assumption of Risk, Release and Waiver of Liability Relating to
 COVID-19 upon registration for the event.
 SPECIAL NOTE ON PROGRAM CREDITS
 Program credits that were set to expire September, 15, 2021, have
 been extended through December 31, 2021! This extension allows
 additional time for Girl Scouts to redeem balances towards program
 events and overnight camp. To find out more about which cards have
 been extended please see GSOSW’s Program Credits webpage.

                                                                                    1

PROGRAM GUIDE EVENTS ARE FOR EVERY GIRL SCOUT!

No matter how you participate in Girl Scouts or what your interests are,
Girl Scout Program Guide events are for you!

If you are in a Girl Scout troop, you can participate in events together
with your troop or on your own as an individual. Program Guide
events can be a great compliment to Girl Scout troop meetings and
badge activities, or a fun way for girls to explore their own interests in
addition to the cooperative learning they do with their troop.

If you are a Girl Scout Juliette—an individually registered member
in grades K-12—Program Guide events are a great way to explore Girl
Scout badges and connect with other Girl Scouts. In fact, you can do all
of the same things girls in troops do—from badges and events, to camp,
Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Programs, travel, highest awards and
more! Have questions? Contact us at answers@girlscoutsosw.org for
support!

Did you know? When you see the term “patrol” in this guide, it’s
referring to a travel patrol—a group of girls who function like a troop
for the duration of a GSOSW-sponsored travel opportunity, including
during the planning stages. Girls in troops and Girl Scout Juliettes can
apply for travel patrol opportunities! Learn more at
girlscoutsosw.org/travel.

                                                                             2

CAMP ASTRO GIRL: SPACE SCIENCE EXPO

GSOSW is gearing up for a fun-filled space science event this summer
that will be out of this world! Spend the day at Camp Whispering Winds
learning all about space from STEM experts, engage in fun hands-on

and explore all that camp has to offer. This event is $5/girl and will
be hosted twice, on August 7 and August 8, so join us on the day that
works best for you!

All Girl Scout members can continue the fun with a FREE live virtual
event the following weekend on August 14, where Girl Scouts can
observe the stars through a virtual telescope, learn all about a local
observatory, engage in fun program partner workshops and so much
more! Registration opens on June 1 at girlscoutsosw.org/events.

JOIN THE GSOSW ADVENTURE DREAM TEAM

This summer, set an outdoor adventure goal for yourself and cheer
on other Girl Scouts as they work towards their own. Your personal
adventure could be to …
   • Climb a mountain near you
   • Go backpacking for the first time
   • Complete a North Face High Adventure badge
   • Plan a family paddling trip
   • Run a trail race
   • Any personal outdoor challenge that makes you excited and
       builds your skills!

No matter your goal, this program will lead you through a mix of
self-led activities and virtual events to build your outdoor skills and
confidence. Programs will include topics like:
    • Outdoor adventure planning
    • Risk management and safety
    • Choosing and using gear
    • A behind-the-scenes look at mountaineering
    • The Trail Adventure and Snow/Climbing Adventure badges

At the end of the summer, share your adventure with GSOSW, and
together we’ll celebrate our growth with a new patch! Youth and adult
Girl Scouts are welcome to participate.

Keep an eye on the monthly Program Opportunities email and
GSOSW’s Facebook page to see virtual event opportunities. Want to be
notified via email when events are planned and self-led activities are
released? Join the interest list!
