Daisy-Brownie-Junior Multi-Level | Troop Year Planner

Your guide to a year of fun and friendship!

For Girl Scouts in kindergarten through fifth grade.

Follow this plan to create a fun and blended experience for your multi-level troop. This will make it easy for you and your Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors to bond as a troop as you explore common themes through age-appropriate badges. Look to council or service unit events (plus generous caregivers!) to help you complete these activities. This plan is built around two meetings per month that connect content for troops serving Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors.

Tips and Resources:

How to host a Multi-Level Girl Scout meeting: toggle arrow

Arrival: Ask Girl Scouts who arrive early to help unpack and set up any snacks and activity materials for later.
Warmups and Wellness: Get Girl Scouts excited to begin their meeting with a warm activity or question and a wellness check. Ask them how they are feeling today and what they are excited about!
Opening Ceremony: Officially open your troop meeting by reciting the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
Activities: Engage your Girl Scouts in the exciting activities to earn their badges. Involve your Girl Scouts in the planning of badge activities for each meeting.
Give the Girl Scouts a chance to work both with their program level and with other program levels within the troop. There’s so much for Girl Scouts to learn from each other!
Closing Ceremony: End your meeting by reviewing what you have learned together and asking Girl Scouts to share their favorite part of the meeting. Congratulate Girl Scouts on their accomplishments.
Follow Up with Families: After the meeting, remember to share with families all the great things their Girl Scouts accomplished!

How to customize your troop year plans: toggle arrow

When you can get outside, do it! Go for a small trip or simply meet in a new space. Shaking things up occasionally keeps things exciting.
Check with your council to see if they’re offering events or activities that your troop could attend. Those events make life easier for you and allow your troop to connect with other Girl Scouts from their area. Many councils and service units host annual World Thinking Day events in February.
If any of the recommended program options is not the right fit, or if you want to give your Girl Scouts the chance to shape their own experience, have them vote to choose a different badge or activity within the same focus area. When you enable Girl-led activities, girls step up and take ownership of their decisions, they grow into confident leaders who can make informed and empowered decisions—a valuable skill they’ll carry throughout their lives. Check out our Award and Badge Explorer for other badge favorites, our latest release of new programs, or visit the Girl Scout Activity Zone.
