GSHG Program Guide 2024

What Kind of Events is GSHG Hosting?

When you view the events listing at www.gshg.org/events, each one will have an icon beside it that will describe what kind of event or program it is. Here are a few of the icons you’re most likely to see: Council Program

Events planned by one of our program managers, event directors, or a member of our staff is a council program. It is usually based around our four program pillars and includes activities that may satisfy badge requirements but could also be something just for fun, like a parade! Registration for these events typically ends two weeks before events. Community Service Opportunity This is an event that will include an opportunity to earn volunteer hours. Volunteer hours can be earned during community service opportunities like Adopt-a-Camp work days! Registration for these events are usually free, but we ask that you do register so we have an idea of how many people to expect. Community Partner Event A community partner event is a program or event that we have planned with one of our sponsors or a local business that we have a close relationship with. Signature Event A signature event is one of our fundraising events hosted by the council - these events help fuel the female leadership pipeline and provide financial aid to Girl Scouts who would be unable to become members, attend our programming, or go to summer camp otherwise! Most ticketed events can take attendees up until the day of the event, unless otherwise noted. Troop Camp This is a camping event, usually over the course of a weekend, where we plan all aspects of the encampment for our troops to attend - programming, meals, lodging, and fun! This is an opportunity for girls to come camp with their troops and troop leaders and meet girls from other troops! Registration for troop camps is usually two weeks out to give us enough time to buy supplies and food! Unlike summer resident camps, these are not drop off events. Day Camp Day camps, like troop camps and resident camps, include exciting programming and fun adventures and are great for Girl Scouts who are not ready to spend the night away from home! Most of our day camps are drop-off events and take place during the work day! Registration for days camps usually ends two weeks before the beginning of camp. Registration for these events vary based on the request of our partners, but usually maintains the two-week-out deadline, unless otherwise noted.
