Journeys

Girl Scouts has developed award-winning materials to guide girls and volunteers through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.  There are currently three themed series of Leadership Journeys, sets of girl and adult books for each of the six Girl Scout grade level groups (K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, 9-10, 11-12).  The three series are:

 

It's Your World - Change It!

It's Your Planet - Love It!

It's Your Story - Tell It!

 

On every Leadership Journey, everything girls do—whether it's performing science experiments, creating art projects, cooking simple meals, or learning to protect the planet's water supply—is aimed at giving them the benefits of the Girl Scout "Keys to Leadership": Discover, Connect, Take Action.

 

Here's how they work:

A girl Discovers her special skills and talents, finds the confidence to set challenging goals for herself and strives to live by her values. This includes being proud of where she came from as well as where she's going.

A girl Connects with others, which means she learns how to team up, solve conflicts, and have healthy relationships. These skills help her in school right now and prepare her for any career she chooses in the future.

 

A girl Takes Action and makes the world a better place, learning a lot about her community and the world along the way.

For all three leadership Journey series, the adult guide and the girl book contains everything a volunteer needs help inspire the girls and to assist them as they go.  Journeys work together with the new Girl Scouts Guide to Girl Scouting.
