We know you’ve got a lot going on—soccer practice, band rehearsals, drama club meetings and, oh yeah, that little thing called school. It all keeps you super busy, 24/7.

So we came up with a way for you to create your own Girl Scout experience, one that fits your interests and your schedule.

There are tons of fun things to do in Girl Scouts—and now it’s easier than ever to work them into your super-charged life.

Coastal Rompers toggle arrow

Grades 6-12

Coastal Rompers is a Girl Scout troop devoted to marine education and conservation. Since the fall of 1996, when the group first organized, Girl Scout has been training girls in middle school and high school to lead Discovery Weekends, a program to introduce younger Girl Scouts to the world of tide-pooling. Coastal Rompers provides older girls with opportunities to participate in marine-related activities with their peers, including visiting aquariums and marine laboratories, and exploring beaches and intertidal areas. As a community service activity, Coastal Rompers and adult volunteers participate in beach cleanups.

Discovery training introduces the concept of teamwork, as trainees work together to set common goals and anticipate issues to be dealt with. More experienced and mature Coastal Rompers train new members. Coastal Rompers then augments this training by conducting field trips, much enjoyed by the membership. They visit aquariums, sandy beaches, rocky shores, and tidal creeks; explore the tide pools at Odiorne Point; sail on a restored gundalow; and offer a research vessel cruise to Shoals Marine Laboratory – the largest field marine station devoted to undergraduate marine studies in North America, only six miles off the New Hampshire mainland shore. Coastal Rompers are, for the most part, hands-on and in the field.

3D Printing Program toggle arrow

All Levels

Try one or more of our online programs to design a 3D object, then have it printed on the council’s 3D printer. Each program is designed for all Girl Scout levels to be able to complete (with some adult help of course!).

These programs are designed to be completed at your own pace. At the end of the program, you will send in your Tinkercad file to be printed on our 3D printer in your filament color of choice. Finished projects may be picked up at a Mountain Top Shop location (Bedford, NH; Thetford, VT; or South Burlington, VT) or shipped for an additional fee. We recommend starting with the beginner program and working your way up to the advanced program, but starting with the beginner program is not required. Girl Scouts with prior 3D design knowledge may wish to start with the intermediate or advanced projects based on the design skills listed in the description.

Both girl and adult members are welcome to join the team, where you will have opportunities to do social media posts, photo shoots, and speak in front of a camera or microphone – and then you get to see yourself in print, online, or on the air. As a member of the team, we will call upon you when opportunities arise to appear at media events or participate in our publicity efforts. Fill out our Media Team application so we will know you are available for these opportunities.

Those who want to take their skills to the next level are invited to take part in the Media Team patch program, where you will experience being a roving reporter, take photos, write a press release, speak on air, interview people, and be a social media influencer. Earn the patch for your level.
