Rolling Hills Programs

Rolling Hills programs ensure that every girl receives opportunities to develop her self-esteem, self-reliance, leadership abilities, and teamwork skills in a way that is both fun and safe.
  • The Girl Scout Troop or the Girl Scout Group:  A troop is a group of girls who meet regularly with adult leaders who voluntarily join the Girl Scout Movement, accept the Promise and Law, and follow the Girl Scout program. Girls of various ages and grades, who wish to pursue a common interest or goal, belong to a Girl Scout group. Groups might include girls of all ages who are interested in sports or earning a similar religious award. A girl may belong to a troop, group, or both at the same time.

  • Council Program Activities:  Council program activities are designed to enhance troop program, and are developed for specific levels of Girl Scouts. Programs like Science Careers & Wizardry, Everyone Belongs – China, Sweet Shoppe, Theater, Self-Defense and Making It Matter attracted more than 9100 girls in 2005–06.

  • Cadette/Senior Leaders' Forum provides added programming geared to the 13-18 year old girl, planned and implemented by troop leaders.

  • Girl Scouting Beyond Bars Program: In 1995 GSRHC initiated a program for girls whose mothers are incarcerated in New Jersey's state prison for women. The girls meet monthly at prison with their mothers and monthly at the Council Service Center to complete badges and activities designed to build communication with mom, self-esteem and confidence, leadership, community awareness and skills. The program has grown from 12 girls to over 100, most of whom continue participating in Girl Scouting after their mothers' release from prison.
