Wow, folks! This has been a CRAZY week of wrapping our minds around the new Journey and badge content released by GSUSA in the Volunteer Toolkit and the online store. There is so much to cover, and I barely know where to begin. In this week's episode, we'll start out with some answers to frequently asked questions. I'll give you a rundown of the new Journeys and badges (which you can follow along with in the Resource Packet), talk a bit about GoldieBlox kits, I'll apologize to Cadettes/Seniors/Ambassadors, and we'll wrap up with this week's Item of the Week.

Special guest, Cory Harrison, joins me in this week's episode to talk about Adventure Camp Overnight! Juniors and Cadettes are officially invited to come visit us in May 2018 at YMCA Camp Greenville. We're jam-packing ziplining, rock climbing, bouldering, canoeing and kayaking, hiking, waterfalls, riflery, low and high ropes courses, and LOTS of fun and friends into on super-powered weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The troop crest is chosen by a Girl Scout troop. The crests are worn by Girl Scout Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. Check out the symbolism behind each troop crest image, and the best ways to vote with your girls.
