What sets us apart? The Girl Scout Program!

Have you ever wondered: “How do I build girls of courage, confidence, and character?” The answer is as simple as 1-2-3!

1. Know where you're going before you start: Become familiar with the five outcomes we want girls to achieve through Girl Scouts:

Develop a Strong Sense of Self:

Promote Positive Values:

Girls have confidence in themselves and their abilities, and form positive identities.

Girls act ethically, honestly, and responsibly, and show concern for others.

Foster Healthy Relationships:

Seek Challenges: Girls learn to take appropriate risks, try things even if they might fail, and learn from their mistakes.

Girls develop and maintain healthy relationships by communicating their feelings directly and resolving conflict constructively.

Learn Community Problem Solving: Girls contribute to the world in purposeful and meaningful ways, learn how to identify problems in the community, and create “action plans” to solve them.

2. Offer activities from the four Program Pillars: S.T.E.M­.:

Outdoor:

Science, Technology, Engineering, Math: Activities help girls develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills to build their confidence.

Develop outdoor skills over time. This can be as simple as meeting outdoors and working toward more adventurous outdoor exploration.

Entrepreneurship:

Life Skills: Develop key life skills girls can use forever, like financial literacy, first–aid, and more. Badges are great for this!

Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product programs to build key entrepreneurial skills girls will use for a lifetime! See the back cover of this guide for more information.

3. Incorporate these program processes into your activities: Girl Led:

Learning By Doing:

Cooperative Learning:

Girls shape their experience by asking questions, offering ideas, and using their imaginations.

Girls learn through hands-on activities, talking about what they did, and reflecting on how they would do it differently next time.

Girls work together to brainstorm ideas and problem solve their way toward a common goal.

How to register Registration for these events is managed by the community partner. Contact information is included in community-sponsored event listings.

Stop The Bleed j

Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death from trauma. The greater the number of people who know how to control bleeding in an injured patient, the greater the chances of surviving that injury. You can help save a life by knowing how to stop bleeding if someone, including yourself, is injured. In this course, you will learn the various ways to control bleeding, whether you only have your two hands to use or whether you have a full trauma first aid kit available to you.

Girls will apply labels reading “No Dumping” and the name of the watershed on storm drains in their community. The process is easy: 1) clean off the surface where storm drain will be applied; and 2) apply the peel-and-stick label. Hamilton County Conservation District will kick-off the event by presenting to girls about watershed management using a model watershed or “Enviroscape”. (2) Girl Scouts will pick up litter along the banks of the Great Miami River at Heritage Park during a regionally coordinated event. This event will take place September 17, 2022.

The Caring For Our Watersheds (CFW) program empowers students in grade 9-12 to imagine, develop and create solutions in their local watersheds. CFW is an environmental proposal contest and project funding opportunity. The program promotes watershed awareness and stewardship, values student ideas and offers support while turning ideas into action. Students develop a proposal to the question, “What can you do to improve your watershed?” The top proposals will be matched with a mentor to help implement their ideas and will present their final project. Winners will receive monetary prizes (from $300-$1,000) for themselves and their school or club.

Grow a Garden Daisy Journey

Adopt a Pet!

Build a garden that will fit your home’s climate and lifestyle no matter where you live! In this hands-on class, students will explore garden design and learn how to choose the right plants! We will learn about succulent cuttings, propagation vs. seeds, and finally plant your own succulent garden to take home! The knowledge gained and the inspiration will keep your little gardener loving plants and gardens for years to come!

In this workshop, we’ll explore the joys and challenges of pet ownership, but on a smaller scale! Participants will “adopt” a stuffed friend and create a tiny home for it in class. We’ll talk about the specific care that each pet needs. We’ll discuss as a group what it takes to keep a pet comfy, healthy and safe, while also making them feel loved. We’ll bring it all together in a creative way - by sculpting their food, treats, toys, bowls and more! When you've earned this badge, you'll be super prepared to take care of your new stuffed friend!

Earn your Painting Badge!

We’ll start off with some inspiration from famous artists and see what resonates with us! We’ll dive right into discussion about how you can paint a mood with your color choices and composition. Next, each girl will paint a landscape, inspired by the mood they’re wanting to portray. Will they paint a cheerful meadow, a serene beach, or a spooky forest? We’ll incorporate the use of palette knives, sponges, and explore ways to apply paint without a brush.

Lastly, we’ll work on a group piece to learn about collaboration and how artists can work together!

Gold Award The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the pinnacle of Girl Scout leadership progression.

Open to Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors, this prestigious award challenges them to change the world by solving a community problem in an innovative and sustainable way.

Highest Awards

Silver Award The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can achieve and gives girls a chance to work with a small team or as an individual. Girls focus on projects that make lasting change in their communities.

The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn. Through them, girls impact their communities, challenge themselves, and gain an edge after high school.

The Gold Advantage The Girl Scout Gold Award not only impacts the community where a girl lives but it also can impact the future of the Girl Scout who earns the award.

Gold Award Girl Scouts join an elite group of women. These women have not only gained courage, confidence, and character, but have demonstrated that they can work hard and change their world. Gold Award projects must be sustainable, meaning they will continue impacting the community long after the Girl Scout has completed her 80 hours of work.

Bronze Award The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn. Girls work together as a group to complete a Take Action project that directly benefits the Girl Scout community, or the girls’ local community or neighborhood.

These projects help girls develop lasting legacies from a young age. Earning a Gold Award doesn’t just help a girl develop while she’s in Girl Scouts, it helps her get ahead in life.

The Gold Award can help girls get college scholarships, stand out during the college application process, and enter the military at least one rank higher than other recruits. Proving once again that Girl Scouts is the best leadership development program for girls.

In Partnership With:
