Feeling overwhelmed by troop planning? ️  

Get organized and have a fantastic Girl Scout year with a comprehensive troop leader planner!


I highly recommend the Scout Leader Troop Planner Packet from the I am Straw Jen Berry Etsy store. It will allow you to stay organized and lead an amazing Girl Scout Year! The 25-page printable planner has everything: calendars, meeting plans, badge trackers, and more. Get your troop on track for adventures and achievements!


This Girl Scout Leader Troop Planner Packet was created by Jen, a Girl Scout leader who understands the challenges of troop organization. She's packed this planner with everything you need to have a successful year and to make things even easier, she also has a blog with tons of free resources to get you started!

Jen says, “One of the challenges I had as a new leader was organization. I found that even though my troop had less than ten girls, I still needed to manage paperwork and information for each girl. Like a teacher, on a smaller scale. I knew I needed something separate from my personal and work planners, one that I could put in a binder and grab when needed. It took over two years for me to develop the leader planner. It truly is a labor of love.


The planner is a fillable PDF that includes everything you need to plan your troop year in a colorful, fun format. It all starts with a personalized cover that includes your name, troop number (optional) or year. You’ll never have to search for information again because it will be all in one place. The planner contains your calendar, meeting planners, rosters and badge trackers in one safe place for when you need it. Once you assemble your binder you can take it to the store and make your awards purchases too. If you have no idea where to start this Leader Planner will get you and your troop organized quick! “

How do I Print and Put Together the Leader Planner?

These pages are designed to be printed on standard letter 8.5″ x 11″ paper. The files are in PDF format which opens and prints best using Adobe Reader. Pages can be printed at home or professionally bound at your nearest office supply store. Because they are standard letter size, they work with three ring binders, punched within disc bound notebooks or spiral bound notebook style. I highly recommend the Avery 3 ring binder from Amazon because it has a nice plastic sleeve in front to put the cover of your planner and also there are a variety of colors to choose from.
