Make This
Girl Scout Year
Your Best Yet.
Now with the Volunteer Toolkit, the new web app
that helps you save time and plan for success, you can
make every troop meeting awesome!
Here’s how it works:
For Daisy, Brownie, and Junior troops, the Volunteer Toolkit
comes with pre-populated plans for everything—
a full year of Girl Scouts right there on your device!
Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops don’t get
pre-populated meetings yet (coming soon), but you
can still access great planning features.
Have your own idea for a meeting? Perfect. Everything
in the Volunteer Toolkit is fully customizable. You can
add your own activities and change their order with
a quick drag-and-drop. You can also report on troop
finances, access your girl and family roster, and
track your girls’ achievements and attendance.
No more hunting for the right activity or book—you’ve got
everything you need right on the app!
Use it on your home computer or tablet
or other mobile device—so convenient!
Get started now.

Welcome to a B.I.G. year of adventure and discovery! Believe In Girls is the theme for this
year’s Program Pathways, our annual, council guide and resource book for girl members,
parents, leaders or advisors!
There are many ways to participate in Girl Scouting, and we hope you’ll enjoy the variety of
opportunities for girls, whether you’re in a troop or as an individually registered Girl Scout.
The Events, Series, Camp, and Travel program activities listed in this guide are designed
with girls in mind — to spark their interests, address their concerns, build their skills, and
explore the world around them. We have once again included a variety of “on-your-own”
activities for troops and families. With the recent launch of our Customer Engagement
Initiative, we also encourage you to use the online Volunteer Tool Kit for planning your Girl
Scout year!
Being active outdoors is a tradition in Girl Scouting, and now with Girl Scouts of the USA’s
new Outdoor Badges, we’ve added some exciting new Badge Workshops at each of our
three Girl Scout camps, that we hope you’ll enjoy.
This year, we’re celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
Participation in the Cookie Program helps girls develop valuable life skills and funds troop
activities and service projects. Since the program team continues to add new activities for girls throughout the year, we
encourage you to stay up-to-date by reading the monthly council email newsletter and
frequently visiting our website calendar at www.gsle.org and our council’s social media
pages.
Take a moment to explore Program Pathways to discover how much fun and how fulfilling
it is to be a Girl Scout!
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Program Department, Girl Scouts Louisiana East
¡Bienvenidos!
¡Bienvenidos a un año “B.I.G. (Believe in Girls)” de aventura y descubrimientos! Believe
In Girls (Tener Fe en las Niñas) es el tema de nuestra guía oficial y libro de recursos anual
Program Pathways que se usa por las muchachas (Girl Scouts), padres, líderes y consejeros.
Existen muchas maneras en las que las Girl Scouts pueden participar, y esperamos que
disfruten en la variedad de oportunidades que se les ofrece a las muchachas, involucrada
ya sea con una tropa o registrándose para participar individualmente. Las actividades
programáticas de Eventos (Events), Series, Campamentos (Camp) y Viajes (Travel)
incluidas en esta guía están diseñadas pensando en las muchachas—para motivar sus
intereses, hablar de sus preocupaciones, desarrollar sus habilidades, y explorar el mundo
que las rodea. Hemos incluido, una vez más, para las tropas y familias, una variedad
de actividades que pueden ser practicadas “en su propio tiempo”. ¡Con el lanzamiento
reciente de nuestro Customer Engagement Initiative (Iniciativa de Implicación de
Clientes), también animamos que usen el Volunteer Tool Kit (Kit para Voluntarios) en línea
para planear su año de Girl Scouts!
Promover actividades al aire libre es la tradición de “Girl Scouting”, y ahora con la adición
por Girl Scouts of the USA de los parches de Al Aire Libre, hemos agregado unos talleres
emocionantes con el fin de ganarse estos parches en cada de nuestros tres campamentos.
Este año, estamos celebrando el centésimo aniversario del Programa de Galletas de las Girl
Scouts. Participación en este programa ayuda a las muchachas desarrollar habilidades
valiosas para la vida y financia las actividades y proyectos de servicio de las tropas.
Ya que el equipo de programas continúa agregando nuevas actividades durante el año, le
sugerimos mantenerse al día por leer el boletín informativo mensual que se manda por
correo electrónico y revisar las redes sociales y el calendario en nuestra página web www.
gsle.org.
Tome su tiempo y explore Program Pathways para descubrir un mundo lleno de diversión
y satisfacción participando en Girl Scouts.

Join first, then Choose!
There are more ways for girls to participate in Girl Scouts than ever! So choose the opportunity that
you think best reflects your interests and schedule. You can participate in programs listed under any
category!
Events
Travel
Events are for Girl Scouts who like
to pick and choose from a menu of
events that interest them. Events
are stand-alone program offerings;
examples might include a career event for Seniors and
Ambassadors, or a leadership conference for teenage
Girl Scouts. Events mean that different girls participate
in each event, as opposed to one group of girls coming
together regularly. Events are available to any girl
regardless of previous Girl Scout involvement.
Every girl deserves a chance to see
the world. Girl Scouts offers many
different travel opportunities so girls
can see new places, meet new people,
and learn about different cultures and
ideas. Whether exploring their own neighborhoods,
or flying to one of the four world centers, Girl Scouts
are continually expanding their horizons. Travel
presents girls with opportunities to prepare, plan,
money-earn, and participate in travel opportunities
through group travel, council-sponsored trips, or
nationally sponsored excursions. Travel also facilitates
appropriate progression; for example, younger girls
participate in short, local trips to prepare them for
longer, international trips as they progress through
grade levels. Travel is available to any girl regardless of
previous Girl Scout involvement.
Camp
Camp allows girls to participate
in the outdoors and/or focus on
environmental education. Day and
weekend camping is offered during the school year
while resident camp is generally offered during the
summer months. Going to a camp is one of the most
popular and recognized aspects of Girl Scouts. For
many girls, camp is the first opportunity they have to
experience archery, fishing, ropes course, horseback
riding, and star gazing. Camp is available to any girl
regardless of previous Girl Scout involvement.
Troop
Troops offer the same group of girls the
opportunity to participate in a variety
of activities, usually over a span of
nine to 12 months. Girls may join at
any time during the troop year.
Series
Virtual
Series give girls the opportunity to
explore a specific theme or topic
without making a long-term
commitment or joining a troop.
Each girl chooses to participate
in the entire series as a complete program package;
series offerings may be short term (for example, six
days of two-hour daily meetings) or longer term (such
as meeting every two weeks for 12 weeks) but always
are shorter than an academic year. One example of
a Series is participation in the council’s First Lego
League robotic team competition. Notes: Series
offerings may require a pre-requisite to participate
from session to session, because girls build on the
skills learned at each session.
|
1-800-644-7571
Virtual opportunites provide girls
with a secure online community
in which they may participate
regardless of geographic location.
Currently, girls may enjoy activities, games, badges
and more by accessing the forgirls.girlscouts.org
website.

FAQs
Program Frequently Asked Questions
Who can participate in Girl Scout events?
A registered Girl Scout is welcome to participate in programs
either independently or as a troop.
Who do I contact if I have questions about the
program activity?
Under each program there is a contact person listed who will
be able to answer questions about the event.
Who do I contact if I want to see if I’m
registered for the event?
Will I receive confirmation of our participation
in a council-sponsored event?
Yes. A confirmation goes to the troop leader, adult in charge,
or individual registering prior to the event with directions
and instructions for the event (usually by email). Make sure
that information is distributed to troop members who are
attending the event.
What is the refund policy?
A full refund is made only when the council cancels the
event. If your schedule changes, it may be possible to
transfer your event fees to a future event. No fee transfers
will be made for no-show troops or girls. All transfer of fees
will be made at the discretion of the Chief Development
Officer, Program and Properties.
If you need to check to see if your registration or payment
was received you can contact Customer Care at 1800-6447571, or by email to customercare@gsle.org.
When does registration open and close?  How
are council program events filled?
How does the council ensure that girls have a
safe and enjoyable time at events?
Listed under each program offering is a registration open
and deadline date. Registration is open until the maximum
number of participants is reached or the deadline date
arrives, whichever occurs first. If by 4 p.m. on the opening
date the council has received more registrations than the
maximum number of participants for that event, a random
drawing will be held to select the participants. In order for
your registration to be processed the full amount of the fee
must be included with the registration.
All events are planned according to Girl Scout Volunteer
Essentials and Safety Activity Checkpoints. Please adhere to
Volunteer Essentials and Safety Activity Checkpoints at all
Girl Scout programs (i.e. using the buddy system, etc.).
How will I know that an event has been
cancelled?
If you are attending an event hosted by the council and it is
cancelled, the adult listed on the event information will be
notified by email or by phone.
What is the leader’s responsibility for the
event if the whole troop attends?
The leaders must provide a sufficient number of adults to
meet Safety Activity Checkpoints. They must also ensure
that there is a currently certified first aider, a First Aid kit,
the original permission slip for each girl, completed Health
History Record for each girl, completed Health History
for each adult, and items listed in event or confirmation
description. The leader is responsible for monitoring her
troop/group’s behavior and actions.
Are Badges included?
If my daughter participates in a program
independently, how will she be supervised?
Can I sell cookies or fall products if I am not a
member of a troop?
Girls participating independently should be accompanied by
a parent/guardian. Volunteers may be available to supervise
groups of girls participating independently at certain
events, but please check with the program staff member
listed under each event to see if your daughter needs to be
accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Yes, any registered Girl Scout can sell cookies or fall products
to earn program credit.
Only if specified in the event description.
Do I have to be in a troop to earn a Badge or
Award?
Absolutely not! Girl Scouts earn badges or awards by
completing the requirements set by the council or the
national curriculum, either independently OR with a group.
Do adult chaperones pay for program events?
When fees are listed per girl, adults do not have to
pay for the event. When fees are
listed per person, any individual
attending the event must
pay the fee.

Monsanto Girl Scout Flowers Badge
Workshop
My Promise, My Faith
This Girl Scout My Promise, My Faith workshop invites girls to
experience a faith journey through exploration of the Girl Scout
Law and teachings from their faith while completing the
requirements of the My Promise, My Faith pin. This award helps
girls explore how Girl Scouting and their faith offer similar ideas
about how to interact with the world around them—and how Girl
Scouting can tie into their faith. Girls can earn this national pin
each year.
Join the Monsanto Wildlife Team and
Monsanto Volunteers to explore their
Wildlife Trail. Girls will research and
identify flowers and other wildlife along
the trail! Girls will have the opportunity
to plant seeds, learn about the lifecycle of
plants and why they are an important part of our
planet. These activities will complete the Flowers Badge. Girl Scouts
has always
provided many
opportunities for
girls to grow in
their respective
religious faith,

This series introduces girls to real-world engineering challenges
by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a specially
created playing surface. Applications are currently being accepted
for girls interested in joining the 2017 Girl Scout FIRST LEGO®
League (FLL) teams. FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and
adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through
the process, learn to make positive contributions to society. Girl
Scouts Louisiana East is currently supporting teams from the
areas of Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Luling, Destrehan, Slidell,
Gonzales, Mandeville, Houma and Chauvin. Each team consists
of approximately 10 girls. A strong commitment is necessary for
participation in this program which requires the team set specific
meetings that are attended by each member so as to prepare
the robot for the competition date in November. Teams meet
periodically through the summer and early fall, and then begin to
meet at least once, possibly twice a week beginning in September
through the competitions in November and December.

Girl Scouts’ Highest Awards
Remember, your Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award projects should have strong elements of advocacy, education and
sustainability. Advocacy: “Are you raising awareness of an issue within your community?”
Education: “Are you letting others within your community know how they can help combat this issue?”
Sustainability: “Is your project legacy continuing after you have completed your project?”
For more help and guidelines concerning these awards and the take action projects associated with them, be sure to explore
the Frequently Asked Questions document on our website along with all the forms you will need to complete and turn
into council for project approval. Each year in our council over 100 girls earn Girl Scout’s highest awards for their individual program level. As girls progress through
their projects they gain insight into the world around them, learn goal setting, and increase their self-esteem by completing tasks
and assignments they may have thought impossible only a year before. To learn more about these awards and GSUSA and council
requirements, visit our website at www.gsle.org.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the
highest award a registered Girl Scout

Product Program Information
Participating in the council-sponsored fall product and cookie programs teaches girls the five essential skills of goal setting,
decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, as well as providing much needed financial support
for troops and the council. The proceeds from these sales enable girls to fund their activities as well as provide for upkeep of council properties,
adult learning, and other council-wide initiatives. In order to participate in money-earning activities, a girl must be a registered member of Girl
Scouts. All age levels, including Daisies, may participate in the sales. Participation is voluntary.
Fall Product Program
Is your Girl Scout troop interested
in a money earning activity that’s
easy, provides startup funds for
the troop right away, and offers
customers a variety of delicious yet
inexpensive items to purchase?
The council’s Fall Product Sale of
nuts, candies, magazines, and address
booklets is September 23 - October
23, with a theme of Explore Something
Different! Ashdon Farms/QSP, the
licensed Girl Scout vendor, has even
prepared a lot of fun activities for Girl
Scouts of all ages to enjoy.
The Fall Product Sale is a
“Friends and Family Campaign”
which means no door-to-door
or booth sales. Sixteen different
products for sale (ranging from $5
to $10) are being offered, including
a collectible Girl Scout tote tin filled
with mint treasures, as well as brand
new products such as Honey Roasted
Mixed Nuts with Peanuts offered in a
16 ounce plastic jar. All orders are prepaid, and the troop earns $1 for every
food item sold, $2 for every address
booklet (only one per girl) completed,
and 10 percent of the price of each
magazine sold (15 percent for online
sales).
This year’s community service
project gives customers the option to
purchase Honey-Roasted Peanuts to
be shipped overseas to our military
troops! When a girl sells five items for
the troops, she will earn a patch.
As the girls participate in the
sale they will earn troop proceeds
and individual girl sellers will
receive incentives ranging from the
interlocking patches, plush animals,
and much more. Visit the website at
www.gsle.org to view recognitions,
products, and for additional
information.
Check out the... Online
Nut Store
As part of the QSP Online Program,
emails to friends and family will
include the option for customers
to order, pay for and have nuts and
candy delivered to their homes/
business. All 25 Girl Scout nut, candy
and chocolate items will be available
as well as five corporate gift items.
Girl Scouts Louisiana East features
the 16 most popular items on the
order card. Troops earn proceeds
for every item sold online with sales
being reported on the Girl’s Online
Sales Report.
New! Take Action Projects
In Girl Scouting we encourage girls
to do big things while working on
an issue they care about. Take Action
projects, along with the Gold, Silver,
and Bronze Awards, address the root
cause of an issue, towards which
girls come up with sustainable, longlasting solutions. These projects strive
to make the world a better place for
more people for a much longer time. Take Action projects will be
shared with customers through
online emails, and you can even
ask for a customer’s assistance to
help reach your goals. Also, girls
and troops will be able to view each
other’s projects via a GSLE council
Take Action Storyboard.
Fall Product Dates:
Friday, September 23 – Sunday, October 23, 2016 – Orders taken
Monday, November 13 – Friday, November 19, 2016 – Girls deliver
the orders. Since the money is pre-collected, the troop receives their
proceeds immediately.
Who: Girl Scout Daisies – Ambassadors registered by September 15, 2016.
