Welcome Girl Scouts! This Virtual Troop offers three online journeys or courses, one for Cadettes, one for Seniors and one for Ambassadors. You can do them at your own pace, with or without other girls in your troop. You may do the journey for fun but if you are doing it as a prerequisite to the Silver or Gold Award then you must earn the award that is part of the journey. You must Register in order to participate. Then go through each part of the journey by clicking on the title of each post and submitting a comment to fulfill the assignment.
All 3 journeys mention the journey books, but they’re a little hard to find. They might be available through your local library, local council or service unit. You can buy one book on amazon or ebay and pass it around. I’ve added the text, as much as possible, so you can do the journey without having a book.
About your virtual leader. I’m a long time Girl Scout leader and volunteer with the San Diego Council but this is not a council run website. I made another virtual troop website when my troop girls were sophomores in high school and two of them wanted to work on an additional journey before they did their gold award projects. I saw the need for this back then. They’re all out of college and working and starting families of their own but I’ve kept the site going. There was a surge in requests during COVID too! I piggyback the site on our service unit website so there is no additional cost to have the site so there is no charge to use it.
I’ve had people from all over the country use it since it’s been online! Over 600 girls have signed up to do one of the 3 journeys.
If you, your troop leader or your troop parents have questions they are welcome to contact me: Debbie Lechner, debbie.lechner@gmail.com, your virtual leader.
