Box Programs
Are you new to leading a Girl Scout troop and need
some help getting started? Are you a seasoned leader running out of
ideas? Or do you just need a break from planning meetings? Each
Girl Scout Boxed Program includes five to six planned troop meeting
theme-based activities, with activities, supplies, evaluations and
leader’s guide packed into one convenient box. This program will
assist Leaders’ challenging task of designing activities for
troop/groups. Applicable patches are included in the cost of the
program and will be received after the completed evaluations are
returned to GSNEO. All Box Programs can be kept for up to 8 weeks.
GSNEO also offers a series of programs that can be downloaded
and used for your Daisy, Brownie or Junior troops. The online
series are outlined below
These programs are for Brownie Girl Scouts, are free of charge, and can
be used anywhere. Program materials are not provided with the

UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD
BOX PROGRAM
Considered the most dramatic protest
action against slavery in United States history, the Underground
Railroad box program helps girls discover not only what a slave's life
was like, but also explores the invaluable concept of freedom. Brownies
through Seniors will learn how people of diverse religions, social
status and nationalities all worked together to create freedom trails
using a complex system of secret way stations through which 30,000 to
50,000 slaves made their escape. Designed to understand the historical
significance of this network, especially here in Ohio, girls will
quickly discover that the true heroes of the Underground Railroad were
not only the sympathizers, but also the runaway slaves.
Cost: $3.00 per girl
Underground Railroad Program Workbook: $20.00
Six-week program.
