I have learned so much over the past months about Girl Scouts and the new path that has been taken to give girls tools to be all they want to be.
I was raised on Girl Scouts with basic badges and awards. At first it was daunting for me to learn the new curriculum.The same principles are there, but with new and improved ways to get girls thinking and acting.
We have so many incredible things before us for our years together and I am excited to see what comes of the mostly girl-led process. I want to clue you in on the things I have learned. With each Journey, Brownies earn a set of completion badges that relate to that experience. There are also additional skill building badges that go along with each Journey.
As a troop we will have three different Journeys to experience. Our first Journey has been chosen and is explained on the Journeys, Projects and Badges page. You may find your Brownie asking questions about your family and getting you involved as she works to learn more about herself. Each activity we do with the Journey builds into the next one as the quest to earn the "Three Keys" begins.
*I am going to go at a snail's pace with this first Journey so the girls have the best outcome and truly love what they are doing. I've patterned my Girl Scout leader philosophy after the leaders I've come to know and admire. We will enjoy the impactful, yet laid-back style.
