Get Girls Outside Through New Volunteer Toolkit Features

We're giving you and your girls options ... outside options! We've added outside activities to ten badges in the Volunteer Toolkit (VTK). Research shows nature-based activities challenge girls and support their social development by encouraging them to become more self-aware and to cooperate, communicate, and solve problems more effectively.

New Get Girls Outside! Badge Activity Options:
  • Daisy (three petals): Rosie (new), Lupe, Clover
  • Brownie (seven badges): Fair Play (new), Letterboxer (new), Painting (new), First Aid, Snacks, Making Games, Senses
  • Junior (six badges): Girl Drawing (new), Flowers (new), First Aid, Simple Meals, Staying Fit, Detective
Click on the new Get Girls Outside! banner at the top of the Year Plan and Meeting Plan tabs on the VTK-----both tabs are filled with details on the new Get Girls Outside! features and how to access them.

Outside activities often place girls in new physical, psychological, and social situations that motivate curiosity and foster a sense of discovery, so let's Get Girls Outside!
