Back in 2016, I researched the history of Camp Mary Elizabeth (CME) in the GSSC-MM council and wrote a series of blog posts about it. CME is located on 56 acres in the middle of Spartanburg, SC’s urban sprawl and was originally dedicated in 1947 as a memorial to Dr. W.S. Zimmerman’s mother, Elizabeth Simpson […] The post A Grant for Camp Mary Elizabeth first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

I haven’t written much of anything with substance lately, but I had an epiphany and had to get this out there. Recently, there have been announcements about the Movement Governance Advisory Team (MGAT) and National Council Session (NCS) Advisory Team, and I have been dealing with a lot of wildly swinging emotions about governance in […] The post My More Honest Thoughts About Governance in 2023 first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

Back in December of 2020, I noticed that the membership cards printed from Volunteer Systems 2.0 did not feature Juliette Low’s name as Founder as all credentials should according to the GSUSA Constitution in Article VIII/Credentials, Section 4: 4. Charters and other credentials shall be issued for no more than six years. Certificates of membership […] The post A Follow Up to My Membership Cards Posts first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

Activity Plans for the Mechanical Engineering Badge Series

by GSWAC-Amy

A few years ago, GSUSA released a series of mechanical engineering badges for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors. The booklet/pamphlet that’s sold online and in the stores is a waste of money because it provides no instructions on how to earn the badges. There is a short blurb on the front of the booklet/pamphlet that reads: […] The post Activity Plans for the Mechanical Engineering Badge Series first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

Happy Founder’s Day! I always make an effort to publish something on both March 12 and October 31 for obvious reasons. Today’s is just a quick hitter with some news that you most likely are already aware of if you stay “in the know” with Girl Scout news. In 2025, our own Juliette Gordon Low […] The post Happy Founder’s Day! first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

Some of the most popular posts on my blog are the consolidated Journey plans that I created for the Junior Think Like A _____ series. I believe that there are a lot of leaders who want to access the material, but they don’t want to have to wade through and struggle with Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) […] The post Activity Plans for the Robotics Badges first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

Ours is a Circle of Friendships

Over the summer, one of my recently graduated Ambassadors (Emma) and her mom (Jen) sent me a text stating that someone from Jen’s work had given them some of her family’s Girl Scout memorabilia and insignia from different eras, and they wanted to know if I was interested in any of it. Of course, I […] The post Ours is a Circle of Friendships first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

Where to Find National Programming 2023-24
Girl Scout with a Cause
by GSWAC-Amy

A few years ago, the River Valleys council published a great matrix of GSUSA’s national programming with information on where to find the various requirements.  As a leader mentor for my service unit, I found it to be a great resource — especially for overwhelmed new leaders. Since we don’t have a traditional badge book […] The post Where to Find National Programming 2023-24 first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

As promised, here are updated versions for 2023-24 of the UNOFFICIAL Memory Books. In case you’re wondering what these are, they are a (sort of) recreation of the Memory Books that GSUSA published a few years ago. The concept was nice, but the execution was a little lacking due to the way our national programming […] The post Updated UNOFFICIAL Memory Books for 2023-24 first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more

A month has almost passed since the NCS, and I wanted to circle back to the delegate formula proposal that was voted down and review a few points. In case you missed it, I had the honor of serving on the resource team for the Farthest North council who sponsored the proposal. In this post […] The post The Delegate Formula Proposal Revisited first appeared on Girl Scout with a Cause ..read more
