Planning Guides
GSRV planning guides allow you to customize your year and help your girls become well-rounded leaders as they earn awards, badges and patches in each of seven skill-building areas.
How GSRV Planning Guides Work
Each skill-building area offers a variety of ways to engage in learning and earning — from completing activity plans to attending special badge-earning events. All the resources you need are at your fingertips. Try the Ambassador planning guide now.
About Activity Plans
Every completed activity plan earns a fun patch. Complete two activity plans for a badge or award and earn that badge plus fun patches! Activity plans are made available for download as they are created. Find out how you — our expert troop leaders — can help River Valleys grow their library of activity plans.
About Earn a Badge Events
River Valleys offers special one-day or overnight events that allow you to have fun while completing the requirements for a particular badge. You leave the event with your badge in hand! River Valleys also offer events to help you complete a Journey or get you started on earning highest awards.
Map Your Plan
Whatever number of hours you have available for troop meetings, we offer guidelines for choosing your activities and events to create a well-rounded experience. To find out more, see Map Your Plan.
