Everyone knows that Girl Scouts have badges. But The Girl's Guide to Girl
Scouting has more than just exciting, new badges for every age level. Each guide
contains:
-
A colorful, easy-to-use binder specially designed for girls
at each level. The binder comes chock full of essential information and badge
activities—plus girls get to customize their own experience by choosing and
adding in additional badge sets.
-
Legacy, Financial Literacy, and Cookie
Business badge activities—or, for Girl Scout Daisies, petal and leaf
activities. For more information about the National Proficiency badges, check
out How the National Girl Scout Program
Portfolio Works (PDF).
-
A detailed diagram showing where girls place the badges,
pins, or awards with pride on their vests or sashes.
-
Ideas to help girls tie their
badges right into their Journeys.
-
Vintage illustrations and quotes from Girl Scout history to
help girls feel connected to the proud traditions of the past.
-
An awards log showing girls every award and badge available
at their level, as well as the entire badge program at every level, so girls can
see how their skills will grow in Girl Scouting.

On every Leadership Journey, everything girls do 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.
Girls now have three series of National Leadership Journeys to
choose from:
|
 |
| Journey 1: It's Your World - Change It! |
|
|
 |
| Journey 2: It's Your Planet - Love It! |
|
|
 |
| Journey 3: It's Your Story - Tell It! |
