Volunteer Toolkit
>>Get Girls Outside - a
VTK Enhancement
The Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) is a digital resource that supports
troop leaders and co-leaders, making the process of running a troop
easier and more efficient. Check out some of the toolkit’s top
features below. Then watch the video playlist above for a detailed walk-through.
Through the VTK, troop leaders can:
- Plan the troop’s calendar year.
- Email parents with
one click.
- View the troop roster, renew girls’ membership,
and update their contact information.
- View Daisy, Brownie,
and Junior Journeys and badges to plan for troop meetings.
o
There are three prepopulated year plans in the VTK for Daisy,
Brownie, and Junior leaders, with 15 meetings each.
- Customize meetings by troop year with other badge and Journey
options.
- Utilize Badge
Explorer to preview different badges and activities that are
available for troops.

troop (troops with a mix of girls in Daisy, Brownie, and Junior
levels).
- Explore individual meeting plans that show a
breakdown of every meeting, including a list of the materials
needed, and editable time allotments for each activity within a
meeting.
- Record girls’ attendance at meetings and their badge
and Journey achievements.
- Add council or custom troop
events to the troop’s calendar.
- Enter the troop’s finances
(depending on the council’s process).

resources, such as Safety Activity Checkpoints.

What About Parents?

or group is doing (e.g, meeting information and which badges and
Journeys she is working on).
- Parents can also view the
troop’s finances (depending on the council’s process).
