Virtually Badges website evolved from a need at the troop level in Girl Scouts as seen by a volunteer leader. As the girls in the troop were getting older and becoming more involved in other extra-curricular activities, the need for a different approach to keep them involved in this great organization and work around their busy schedules was apparent.
The resources created have proved to be useful for the participants to stay active in Girl Scouts and provide easily organized resources for troop leaders to use at face-to-face meetings as well!
