Program Resource Guide
There are many exciting opportunities available for girls in Girl Scouting.  Our Program Resource Guide highlights some of the resources available for adults to use to enhance the troop/group experience for girls within Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council. Within your service unit, local events and activities are also available. Talk to your Membership Development Coordinator or Service Unit Administrator about upcoming events in your area.

Council's Own Awards
Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council has created special Try-Its, Badges, and Interest Project Awards for girls.  The awards are considered official and can be worn on the front of a uniform sash or vest.  The topics of the Council’s Own have been designed to meet the needs and interest of girls.

Program Kits
The Program-in-a-Box designs are available for a variety of topics to use as a resource when working with girls. A boxed program contains an activity booklet as well as some of the supplies you may need to complete the activities in the kit. Often, a patch is available for purchase for the girls to recognize their efforts in learning about the kit topic.

Patch Programs
GSBDC has created a variety of activity guides for girls, many with participation patches available for purchase for girls to recognize their efforts in learning about the topic. The activity guides can be done in a troop setting or completed individually by the girl, working with her family. View details...
