Program on Demand
Program on Demand is a new program where Girl Scout staff and trained volunteers will bring a Journey to your troop! We have selected several Daisy, Brownie and Junior Journeys to deliver upon request by a Troop. Sometimes Journeys may seem difficult, sometimes they are on a topic the Troop Leader is unfamiliar with. We are here to offer our support, and provide a fun afternoon for your troop. There will be pre-work assigned to be completed at a Troop Meeting before the program day, and the Take Action Project will be completed at Troop Meetings after the POD.  

Process for Request:
If you are interested in requesting a POD, please email programondemand@gsksmo.org.  

POD Volunteers:
In order to deliver all of the Programs on Demand, we need engaging volunteers! If you're interested email programondemand@gsksmo.org.
