Our girls are beginning fourth grade, and this is their first year as Junior Girl Scouts. During their two years as Daisies and their two years as Brownies, we have never done a Girl Scout Journey. Every spring, the girls have voted on the badges they would like to earn during the next school year. They voted to try a Junior Journey this year. While I should have had them vote for one of the three Journeys available, I didn't. Instead, I borrowed both the girl and leader guides for each of the Junior Journeys from the library. After flipping through the materials, I knew the aMUSE Journey was a great fit for our girls. Since this is our first attempt at a Journey, I did some research. I learned that some troops take two to three months to complete a Journey. Other troops hold a Journey Overnight. I discovered an amazing resource online for a one-day workshop. I decided it would probably be best for our girls if we attempted to fall somewhere in the middle with our timeline. In addition to the Journey materials that can be purchased from Council, I used that one-day workshop as a model as I developed our plan. We will spend every Wednesday in September on this Journey. This year, we added an additional half hour to our meetings in the hopes that we would not feel so rushed. We now meet from 4:30 to 6pm. Parents are asked to drop their girls off around 4:15pm, so we can get started by 4:30pm. In this post, I will describe what we did during our first Journey meeting and how it worked for our girls. 4:15pm Girls arrive. 4:30pm Girl Scout Promise and Sharing. The girls begin each meeting by reciting the Girl Scout Promise. They decided they do not wish to recite the Pledge of Allegiance this year, specifically because they say the Pledge each morning at school. Since it is their troop, we allowed it. The girls spent a few minutes sharing a special memory from summer break with the others in the troop. 4:45pm Explain Journey and Awards. I wanted to introduce the girls to the Journey and to the associated Awards they will earn this month. The day before the meeting, I prepared what I was going to say. I pulled from both the Junior Journey Book and the Adult guide. Here is the introduction I presented: We are doing a Journey. For the next four Wednesdays, we are going to focus on lessons and activities that will help you discover yourself, connect with each other and your community, and take action to make the world a better place. DISCOVER + CONNECT + TAKE ACTION = LEADERSHIP. As Girl Scouts, you are learning different skills to be great leaders. For each level of Girl Scouts, there are three different Journeys. You probably should have voted which Journey to do, but I flipped through them and thought the aMUSE Journey fit our troop well. It's about having fun trying on roles, and being a leader who stretches herself to play new parts. You'll also be inspiring others to try new roles (page 5, Junior Journey Book). Read Pg. 6 Junior Journey Book. Does anyone know what a stereotype is? Stereotype--word or phrase used to categorize a group of people and this idea is generally believed or accepted by others. Example: “The nurse gave me a shot.” When I say that, do you think the nurse is a man or a woman? Why? That is a stereotype. Show Awards. From Pg. 12 Adult Guide (Pg. 8, 9 Junior Journey Book). Reach Out: You will understand the many roles women and girls play in the world around you and the leadership skills needed to assume these roles. Speak Out: You will be aware of how stereotypes can hold you and your friends back from trying new roles, and you will learn how to stop stereotypes. Try Out: You will have courage and confidence to try out your new roles. Read Pg. 30 Adult Guide (last two bullet points). Sing “Yes She Can?” This song is SUPER cute, and we had such fun singing it. The girls wanted to sing it again, and they asked if they could sing it as loud as they could. LOVE IT! 5:00pm Flurry of Roles. Prior to the meeting, I wrote the different roles found on page 29 of the Adult Guide on small post-it notes. I added a few roles like doctor, horse trainer, and lifeguard. I placed the post-its all over a door in our meeting space. We explained the activity, and the girls were given one minute to stick roles on themselves. They were instructed to choose the roles they thought were a good fit. Then we discussed the questions on page 29 of the Adult Guide. 5:15pm Take the Stage ("Charades"). Before the meeting began, I wrote the roles found on page 31 of the Adult Guide on slips of paper. Again, I added a few roles like Chef, Teacher, and Auto Mechanic. Each girl took a turn choosing a role and acting it out in 5-10 seconds while the rest of the troop guessed the role being played. 5:30pm Role Model Dolls Following the instructions on page 20 and 21 in the Junior Journey book, the girls made dolls out of a button, pipe cleaners, and yarn. We had pipe cleaners, yarn, felt, and googly eyes remaining from previous crafts. I picked up some large buttons at Joann's. I used a 40% off coupon, so a package of six was only $1.37 plus tax. The girls loved making these dolls! They worked for the rest of the meeting, giving their girls capri pants or skirts, headbands and purses. Some of the girls took extra materials with them to finish the dolls at home. Before we knew it, parents were arriving. I didn't get a picture of all of the dolls. We also failed to close our meeting. Oops! We allowed the girls to take the Junior Journey Book home. They were told they could read everything up to page 23, if they were interested. We asked them to work on pages 12 and 13, letting them know that they would be sharing their New Character with the troop at the beginning of our next meeting. We also asked that they read pages 14 and 15 and work on the Casting Call Log on pages 16 and 17 before the next meeting. We will build off this Casting Call Log over the next few weeks. I would have liked to address these pages with the girls during our meeting, but we chose to spend more time on the yarn dolls. The girls saw the All-My-Roles Paper Dolls on pages 22 and 23 and seemed excited. We encouraged them to make the paper dolls and asked them to bring them next Wednesday. Thank you for reading. Hopefully I will have more pictures of the yarn dolls and maybe even some photos of paper dolls to share in my next post. See you next week! UPDATE: The girls added some finishing touches to their yarn dolls at home. Here is a photo of the dolls they brought to our meeting yesterday.

In this Journey, you will: Explore roles you play in your life and try on new ones—play a role-playing game, invite actors to talk about the characters they’ve played, or learn to spot stereotypes on TV, in movies, or in ads.

*This post contains affiliate links. Updated April 2023 One of the parts of the Girl Scout Law is to “Use Resources Wisely”. As a child of the 70’s, I used to watch the Public Service Announcements with Woodsy Owl, who taught us to not pollute. People who cared for the environment were seen as “crunchy granola types” and were very advant garde for the time. The only reason adults of that time were conservationists was to save money. Turning out the lights when they were not in use was not to save the Earth, but to save your parents’ wallets. My children have grown up with recycle bins at home, at school, at local parks, and at our synagogue. This is simply a way of life now and throwing paper goods or cans and bottles is only done by accident. Canvas bags are kept in my car for quick errands and a large bag of them is taken to the supermarket for each weekly trip. Image from Pixabay and used by the author in Canva Many children today are also eating a lot cleaner that I did as a child. Bologna sandwiches on Wonder Bread with Hi C punch in my thermos and a Twinkie for dessert was a normal lunch. Today, kids are eating non-sulfate lunch meats on wheat bread or bringing hummus with vegetables as a lunch. Juice is organic or kids simply drink water. Snacks are natural and made with no high fructose corn syrup. Because the concept of saving the earth, eating healthy and using natural products is a part of our lifestyle now and even our school curriculum, earning the Brownie Household Elf Badge is an easy Try It to earn in one meeting. Step 1 Save Energy This is an easy part of the badge to earn because the girls should have a wide knowledge base. Read one of these books for children that is directly related to saving energy as a launch for discussion. This book for kids is available on Amazon This book shares the story of what happens to a community that has a power blackout. It is available on Amazon. One way to extend this discussion at home is to put the girls "in charge" of making sure the lights are turned off when a room is empty. Have them search for "vampire energy eaters", aka,things that are plugged in when not in use. Have them ask an adult to unplug it for them. Step 2 Save Water Another quick step is to discuss ways that you can save water. Shorter showers, turning off the water when brushing their teeth and not letting the water run when the dishes are being done are just a few things to list. Your co-leader or you can write down the response to send in a follow-up email to parents. Step 3 Go Natural (craft) Materials Spray bottle Ingredients to make your cleaner (your choice-sites for recipes below) Paper or plastic tablecloth to protect the table Sieve for pouring Labels for bottles Many household cleaners are full of strong and powerful chemicals that can cause reactions in some people. Our ancestors knew the cleaning power of baking soda and vinegar long before Windex was invented. You can have the girls make their own natural spray cleaner. You can purchase cheap spray bottles at the Dollar Store or a big box retailer. Depending on what you decide to make, you can make your own labels for the girls to place on them once the mix has been made. Here are a few sites for you to check out and see which natural cleaner you want to make. 10 All Natural Cleaning Solutions to Scrub Every Inch of Your Home 2 Chemical-Free Recipes for DIY Spring Cleaning 25 DIY Green Cleaning Recipes for The Whole House Step 4 Reuse or Recycle As a teacher, I have always saved everything because you never know when it can be repurposed for a craft! In past generations, things were rarely tossed out, they were used up until they could not be used anymore. This is a great time to do intertwine a community service project. For the Bronze Award, my troop made toys for the animals at a local no-kill shelter. We made cat toys our of toilet paper tubes and tug toys for dogs out of tee shirts. If these crafts are not for your troop, then they can decorate canvas tote bags that they can bring to the store when they are out shopping with their parents. Instead of a boring old bag, they can really bling theirs out! Use stampers, jewels, Sharpies...anything you want! Available on Amazon, this tote bag comes in a bulk set of 12 and measures 8 inches by 8 inches with a 5 inch drop handle. Fabric Markers from Amazon Step 5 Clear the Air (craft) Having fresh air to breathe inside our homes is important. Sometimes things get stinky and we need to make it smell fresher. If you want, bring in a can of freshener and have the girls try to read the ingredients. Pretty scary! Image from Pixabay and used by the author in Canva Instead, you can use another spray bottle and make your own room freshener. Here are some recipes that do not require heating.
