What Girls Do in Girl Scouts The Core: Leadership Journeys
Journeys are the core piece of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Through journeys, girls learn the three keys to leadership: discover, connect and take action. Each journey has awards that girls may earn - the only awards in Girl Scouting that specifically engage girls in the complete experience of discovering, connecting and taking action. Unlike skill-building badges, which recognize specific talents or tasks, the journey awards represent a deep and longer-term exploration of a topic. There are three themes to choose from at each Girl Scout age level – It’s Your World—Change It!, It’s your Planet—Love It!, and It’s Your Story—Tell It! Journeys are designed to be flexible and can be customized to a group’s interests. Each journey has a suggested number of sessions it will take to complete, but the sessions do not have to be done consecutively (unless that is how the girls want to do it, of course!). More information about journeys is on pages 6–7.
