Program Guide Spring 2026

We are thrilled to share the 2026 Spring Program Guide — your passport to a season full of adventure, creativity, and unforgettable Girl Scout experiences! This year we’re introducing exciting new opportunities, including fresh community service programs and special council-wide celebrations, while also bringing back many of the fan favorites you look forward to year after year. Inside this guide, you’ll find a wide variety of activities — from STEM and outdoor adventure to arts, leadership, life skills, and so much more. Whether you're joining us for a hands-on workshop, a day in the community, or a council-wide signature event, there’s something for every Girl Scout to explore, discover, and enjoy this season. To help you navigate all of these opportunities, this guide is organized in three easy ways: • By date in the front section, • By program category in the middle, and • By age level in the back. Plus, when you’re browsing online, don’t forget you can search for specific programs using the search bar in the top right corner of your browser window. We can’t wait to see you out there trying something new, building new skills, and making big memories this spring. Here’s to a season of exploration, connection, and fun — together! With excitement, Lauren Bolt, Taryn Glidewell, and Tracy Hull GSKSMO Program Team Directors

How to Use This Book in three Easy Steps... 1. Girls must be registered members who meet the Girl Scout program age level requirement for the event. Any girl in grades K-12 who is currently not a registered Girl Scout may register as a member to attend events and activities. 2. Troop leaders or other currently registered and background-checked adults must attend activities/events with troops. Unless otherwise noted, they are responsible for ensuring the girls’ safety and maintaining the ratio. Please refer to Safety Activity Checkpoints for these safety details. 3. Individual Girl Scouts can attend most of the activities/events listed. Unless otherwise noted, an adult caregiver must chaperone and be responsible for their girl(s) at an event/activity.

Shop for Your Girl Scout! The best way to celebrate an accomplishment or special activity is to earn a badge and showcase it on the front of the tunic, vest or sash or purchase a fun patch and display it on the back of the uniform. Shop local for all Girl Scout needs including uniforms, badges, fun patches and girl-powered swag! You can pick-up or have your order mailed. Shop at gsksmo.org/shop

Girls Read through this book and pick events and opportunities you’ll love! Troop Leaders Use this book to help plan your 2024- 2025 Girl Scout year. Caregivers Find adventures in this book with your girl for her or her troop.

Community Partner Experiences Many of the activities and events in this guide are hosted by our amazing community partners, who focus experiences on Girl Scout core programming. Troop leaders or other approved adults are required to attend events with their Girl Scouts and are responsible for ensuring the safety of the girls. Community partner facilitators are never counted in the ratio for the girls. Some community partnerships manage their own registration, and in these situations, the contact information is on the online event listing. Thank you to our incredible community partners for creating these opportunities for Girl Scouts!

Cancellation Policy Experiences may be canceled due to the required minimum number of participants not being met or, in other cases, like severe weather. Only those registered will be notified if the experience is canceled or moved to a new date. Please review the cancellation policy listed for each program for more information.

Program Symbols Each GSKSMO program is designed for different grade levels, and may include a specific theme or activity. This key will help you understand grade levels and the corresponding symbols to pick the events that are just right for you or your troop/group:

Fuel Her Fun. Fund Her Future.

Every box of Girl Scout Cookies does more than support her troop —it powers her next big adventure. The Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics… and it also helps girls earn Cookie Dough, a special reward they can use all year long.

2026 Cookie Program Dates

Look for the Cookie Dough Icon!

• Order Taking Begins: December 17 • Booth Sales Begin: February 13 • Cookie Season Ends: March 15

As part of the Cookie Program, girls earn Cookie Dough—a reward they can use for camps, workshops, uniforms, annual membership, and even supplies for Silver or Gold Award projects. In this Program Guide, you’ll see a Caramel deLite icon next to select events. These programs are Cookie-Dough eligible, helping girls turn their cookie achievements into hands-on adventures that build courage, confidence, and character.

Her cookie success fuels her year of leadership, learning, and fun.
