Resources for Meeting Planning

Girl Scout leaders are always looking for help with meeting planning. This page is an attempt to create a one-stop list of handy resources, with some editorializing about the type and quality of help given.

GSUSA and Council Resources

Volunteer Toolkit (VTK)

 VTK is GSUSA's online leader's manual.  Most if not all councils give their leaders access via the "My GS" tab on the council website.  Yes, VTK can be clunky but it does seem to have improved since it was first implemented.

To use VTK you first have to create a year plan.  I recommend choosing the create your own option, and then adding the meetings for a handful of badges that interest you.  Honestly, I don't think it works well as a planner so I don't use it for that, but as a resource, I think it has some good ideas.
