Council Programs & Council Owns

Are your girls looking for something new and exciting?

Have they done all the Try-It's, Badges, and IP's they are interested in and would like other challenges?

Try a Council Own!

What's a Council Own, you ask?
A Council Own is developed at the Council level and approved by individual Councils.
They are special interest Try-It's, Badges, and IP's that cover things from fishing,
butterflies, special Grandparents, Maple Sugaring and much, much more.

How do you find them or develop them??
With the help of many friends and shared resources from other leaders around the United States;
I've listed all the ones I've found (so far) which are available in other Councils.
Please click on the links to find out more about each one! (Working on adding links as time allows!)

If your troop wants to develop your own Council Own; contact your Council for required guidelines and requirements.
Many of the below Councils also are willing to help you in your endeavor by
sharing information with you.
If you see a Council Own you're interested in developing that has a
similar Council Own available elsewhere;
feel free to contact that Council for information!

Note:



All Council's Own IPPs, should meet the current criteria established by GSUSA.

Council's Own IPPs should be formatted in a similar fashion to those that are in

the "NEW" Interest Project Patch book.

Check with the individual Council to confirm if their Council's Own IPP

meets these standards before doing the program with your girls;
 
ALSO most councils require permission to work on a Council Own before you do the work

with your girls AND many Councils DO NOT share Council Owns.

You need to contact the individual Councils prior to working on a Council Own.

All Councils are listed alphabetically by state.
The Council's listing is based on where the Council's Headquarters are located.

The programs within each Council are listed in alphabetical order:
Brownie Try-its; Junior Badges; Cadette/Senior IPPs; and all other patch programs.

If you are from a Council that is listed below and my list is not correct or current PLEASE email me with
the updated information (or if there are links for the requirements and
I do not have them linked email me as well) so I can update this site.

I am continuously working on this webpage; as there is a lot of information to update and
provide - it is a work in progress; please have patience with me! :)

Disclaimer

Girl Scouts of USA is currently going through major changes in Council structure; there is a realignment in progress that is merging councils throughout the United States. The list below is the OLD list of councils and their programs. Many of these sites may not be available any longer or have had changes. Please contact any council if you have questions about their programs. 

To find the newest councils please visit the Girl Scouts of the US website and use
