ADVENTURE

Join the Adventure this year as we explore the “It’s Your World – Change It!” journey series. We will highlight events and opportunities that will help you and your Girl Scout earn the badges and awards offered in the journey for each level. Coming this year, we will host a fun-filled weekend in March that will lead the girls through parts of the journey and help you connect with other troops and resources that make achieving these badges easier and more fun for you and your Girl Scout.

Want to be the best babysitter on the block? Sign your Girl Scout up for one of the many trainings that we offer for older girls. She can help aid a program or take a training to enhance skills that she will be able to use for the rest of her life.

Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee has something for everyone. We have programs for the girl who loves to explore or the girl who wants to become a famous actress. Whatever the passion or dream, we have what you need to make it a reality. Let’s do something amazing!

Packaged Programs:

This leader thing can keep you busy enough, let us help prepare a meeting for you. Packaged Programs are just that, a program in a box. You rent the box, and we make sure that everything you need is in it waiting for you. There are various programs to choose from. For a complete list visit our website.

Troop Camping: pg. 37

Singing songs, roasting your marshmallow and camping in the woods, that is what memories are made of. Sign your troop up for camping this year and create your own memories and ones that Girl Scouts remember for the rest of their lives. We have four wonderful camps that offer experiences for every level of camper.

On Your Own:

Take advantage of the partnerships Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee have with other organizations. Programs are offered through different vendors around Middle Tennessee. All registrations and information comes through the vendor providing the program. You can check out these opportunities through our website and email publications.
