Events & Series
Events and series give girls opportunities to have Girl Scout experiences outside of regular troop activities.
They can be events like a one-afternoon badge workshop, a weekend financial literacy program, an educational day at the zoo, and so much more.
Events and series can be planned and presented by adult volunteers, troops, or presented by GSSEM. Girls from throughout the GSSEM service region can attend events and series. They are not restricted to service units or communities. Events and series offer individually-registered girls (Juliettes) and troops of all Girl Scout levels to come together to learn, discover new interests and talents, and have fun together.
Events
GSSEM Girl Scouts can participate in four types of events (Troop, Service Unit, Community, and Council). Girl events are stand-alone offerings provided outside of regular troop meetings. They are typically one-day activities and are occasionally overnight or a weekend long.

Series
Series offerings are group programs where the same girls participate in multiple sessions, which can be regularly scheduled (e.g., every other week, monthly, etc.).
- Series may be short or long term, but always shorter than the academic year.
- Girls build on the skills learned at each session.
A series example would be an eight-session Journey program.
