Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here


If you are a Girl Scout leader looking for the ultimate “easy button” to plan your next meeting, you have found your village. I know firsthand that your time is precious, so my mission is simple: to provide you with ready-to-use, print-and-go programs—complete with crafts, games, and real-world activities for every single badge step—alongside a treasure trove of free ideas right here on the site.

My Girl Scout Story: Where It All Began

how it started and how it ended

My journey as a Girl Scout started over 35 years ago in Conneaut, Ohio, when my mom signed me up to be a Brownie in Troop #80671. Not long after, the troop was at risk of folding because it needed a co-leader. My dad nudged my mom to step up, and that sparked a 25-year legacy!


Our troop eventually moved to my parents’ basement, which we fully transformed into a scouting wonderland—complete with basement support poles painted like tree trunks, tree stumps for chairs, and a fake campfire. What started with just 10 girls eventually exploded into a massive, multi-level troop meeting at a local church. By the time I stepped down as a leader, we were 76 members strong, spanning from Daisy Girl Scouts all the way to Ambassador Girl Scouts.


Over the years, the badges and programs have changed, but the core values never do. I started this blog to share our troop’s proven successes with other leaders, and I am continually amazed by how this incredible community has grown.

Life Today: Balancing the Chaos

Since starting this blog in 2015, my world has evolved beautifully. Today, I am:


  • A Scouting Mom twice over: I have an active 8-year-old Girl Scout, and an 11-year-old Boy Scout who just ranked up to Scout level and is working hard toward Tenderfoot!

  • A Full-Time Professional: By day, I work full-time as a Customer Strategist, which means I spend my working hours thinking about how to make things seamless and successful for people (a skill that definitely carries over into meeting planning!).

  • A Dog Mom: We have a family dog who is an absolute handful, keeping us entirely on our toes.

Between the full-time job, school schedules, sports, and scouting events, I know exactly what it feels like to be running on cold coffee and a tight schedule. That is why I design these resources to give you your time back.
