Discover Key

The Discover Key! It's all about me: What I believe and my family.

Congratulations to our girls! They have earned their very first badge in Brownies. We earned the Discover Key which is part of the Brownie Quest Journey set. We have two more keys before we can unlock the Journey and get all the patches.
Each key is a mystery of sorts to solve. We discovered traits about ourselves, we discovered ways we are alike and celebrated differences, and we discovered ways our families valued the Girl Scout Law. Last week each girl discussed the line of the Law that means the most in their family and why. The girls also talked about things that each member of their family does well. All of their answers were meaningful and well-developed. We even shared a few laughs.
I began talking to them about the concept of a mosaic - how when you are right up on it you see the little pieces, and when you back away you can see the entire picture. Our next step is to explore how the circles of our lives grow outward and how we connect on a much larger level. They will begin talking about ways to care for one another as well as other people as we begin to look at the big picture.
On Tuesday we are going to begin making our "Brownie Team Agreement" which is essentially a contract regarding the ways we work together. They will also bring something home with them to work on for our April meeting that begins their caring for others commitment.
Our girls are working so very hard, and they do not even realize it. One thing that is awesome about Brownies is that leadership is being born through fun activities and what may seem like games. Everything we do has a much greater purpose and works to develop strong, girls with a deeper understanding of the world around them.
