This is a vitual event.
Friendship drama is one of the biggest challenges troop leaders face, and it can leave even experienced volunteers wondering what to say or do. Whether it's hurt feelings, cliques, exclusion, gossip, eye rolling, or girls refusing to work together, these moments can quickly change the atmosphere of a troop meeting.
In this practical and engaging training, you'll learn how to confidently navigate social conflict without taking sides or making the situation worse. We'll discuss why these behaviors happen at different age levels, how to recognize the difference between typical friendship struggles and more serious concerns, and how leaders can respond in ways that teach important life skills instead of simply solving the problem for the girls.
You'll leave with strategies you can immediately put into practice, including how to facilitate healthy conversations, encourage empathy and accountability, create a troop culture where girls feel safe and included, and partner with parents when needed.
By the end of this session, you'll feel more prepared to handle those uncomfortable moments with confidence while helping girls develop the courage, confidence, and character that Girl Scouts is all about.
Perfect for: New and experienced troop leaders who want practical, real-world tools for managing friendship challenges and creating a troop where every girl feels like she belongs.
