- Tips & Tricks - Make Meeting Magic - Feeling stuck on what to do next with your troop or how to connect your Girl Scouts' interests to activities? Looking for how to make things more girl-led? Would you like to just come see what other troops are up to?
Troop volunteers, come meet in person for a hands-on planning session led by an experienced Mentor Trainer. You'll collaborate with other volunteer leaders, explore ready-to-use activity ideas, clarify logistics, and walk away with a complete plan for your upcoming meetings. Whether you're brand new or looking for fresh inspiration, this guided workshop takes the stress out of planning and helps you feel confident, prepared, and excited for what's next with your troop. - Tips & Tricks - Rallyhood - This short training introduces Rallyhood, GSCO's recommended platform for troop communication, and walks troop leaders through the key features that make it easier to stay connected with families in one place.

- Tips & Tricks - Troop Finances - This short training gives troop leaders strategies for managing troop money with confidence: organizing receipts, tracking expenses with a spreadsheet, keeping finances transparent and accessible to your troop, and getting Girl Scouts involved in the budgeting process. Come ready to share what's working for you and leave with ideas you haven't tried yet.
