The Skills Fest

Badge workshops and program days for Girl Scout troops

From Daisies to Ambassadors — schedule badge sessions, register troops, and run event day with real rosters.

The Skills Fest runs badge workshops and program days: set timeslots and rooms, place badge sessions on a visual schedule grid, and let troops register girls with a signup code — no email addresses required. Session capacity follows room and instructor limits, waitlists promote fairly, and organizers get check-in, attendance, and CSV/PDF reports.

The Girl Scouts-style template speaks in Troops, Troop Leaders, Badges, and Levels from Daisy to Ambassador, and any session can be scoped to a minimum level so programming stays age-appropriate.

What the app calls things for Girl Scout troops

Every label is configurable — the starter template pre-fills the words below, and they appear everywhere: menus, buttons, and reports.

What you get

Configurable terminology

Rename the small groups (Club/Troop/Pack), the awards (Honor/Merit Badge/Adventure), the participants, the leaders, and the levels or ranks — the whole app speaks your organization’s language, starting from one of ~12 templates or a blank slate.

Drag-and-drop schedule grid

A rooms-by-timeslots board. Drag classes between rooms and times; room capacity and a max-classes-per-room limit are enforced as you go.

Class capacity & fair waitlists

A class’s capacity is the smaller of the room’s capacity and the teacher’s limit. Full classes take a waitlist with automatic, fair promotion when a spot opens. Multi-session classes, minimum-level requirements, secondary teachers, duplicating a class into other timeslots, and a “manage students” roster with add/remove and schedule-conflict handling are built in.

Family self-registration — no email required

Leaders share a signup code; kids create an account with just a username and password. Staff and leaders can use email magic links when email is enabled, but it is never required.

Day-of check-in

Check-in numbers, live counts, and background-check flags for the door on event day.

Reports & exports

Registration grids, unit summaries, attendance summaries, printable timeslot rosters, background-check lists, and member exports — sortable and searchable in the browser, downloadable as CSV or PDF.

Questions from groups like yours

Yes. Mark a badge session with a minimum level — Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and up — and registration enforces it automatically.
