What is it? Program on the Move is a completely FREE program opportunity that Girl Scout troops and/or Service Units can request to come out to your meeting location.
What types of activities are available? There are five programs offered through Program on the Move for all levels – Robotics, Circuits, Color Exploration, Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality, and Environmental Stewardship 101. There are two programs for Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador levels – Content Creator and Leadership Basics.
How do I reserve it? Reservations are simple. Visit the GSCB Events Calendar to select a date that works for you. Once you find a date, you will select reserve and then enter some basic contact information, the program you are interested in, the age level of your group. Additionally, you will provide the location where you would like the Program on the Move team to go. Your reservation is considered confirmed once you complete the process and receive an email receipt. Within three business days a GSCB Program Specialist will connect with you to review additional details. Click HERE to get started.
What should I expect at my program? GSCB facilitators will bring all the necessary materials to facilitate a fun experience. Our facilitators will need 30 minutes to set up, so please ensure your meeting location can accommodate that. Girls will also receive a Program on the Move fun patch!
What do I need to do? All you need to do is reserve the location where you would like the Program on the Move team to come and ensure that the space is suitable for program activities. A Program Specialist will discuss the specifics of the lesson you choose, in order for you to ensure adequate space. Program on the Move cannot visit in-home meetings. If you need assistance finding a location, please let us know. Reminder: Facilitators are just that--facilitators. Your Troop is responsible for providing the appropriate ratios. Troop Leaders/Co-leaders must be present.
What days are available for visits? Week days vary throughout the year. Please visit the Events Calendar for more information.
What happens if I need to cancel? If you need to cancel, please contact GSCB Member Care at 1-800-341-4007 immediately. We thank you in advance for this, as it helps us to provide as many program opportunities as possible.
How many girls can participate? Most programs are planned for groups of 10 – 30. We are happy to accommodate troops of any size. Please help us be good stewards of our resources and if your Troop has fewer than five participants, please reach out to your VSS to connect you with Troops to partner with. We can accommodate larger than 30 participants, please reach out to discuss logistics and the program best suited for a group your size.
How can Juliettes participate? Program on the Move is currently designed to be reserved by Troops and Service Units. Juliettes who meet the required group size of 10 can make their own reservation. However, GSCB actively monitors reservations and will invite local Juliettes to events in their area. Juliette caregivers should be on the lookout for these invitations. Service Units should also be encouraging their troops to share when they are reserving Program on the Move to extend invitations to Juliettes as well.
What happens in the case of inclement weather? While it is GSCB’s intention to always deliver scheduled programming to troops, inclement weather may necessitate cancellation of programming. The protocol below outlines best practices, but Program Specialists, in coordination with the Associate Director of Program and Partnerships, may make decisions to hold or cancel programs on an individual basis based on the safety and well-being of all involved.
We will do our best to reschedule your program. The Program Specialist will reach out within 48 hours of cancelled program.
