Troop or Individual?

Girl Scouting is for every girl! Whether you belong to a troop or venture solo as an individual member, there is a place for you in Girl Scouts. Either way, you can do all of the activities in this program guide! Read on to see which is best for you!

Two great ways to be a Girl Scout! How will you participate?

As a Troop Member...

• You will be part of a group that meets regularly and plans activities together.

• You will work together as a team to set goals, brainstorm ideas, complete service projects, earn Girl Scout Awards, participate in programs (including the Girl Scout Cookie Program) and more!

• You will be guided by two or more Girl Scout-qualified volunteers, your activities will be girl-led, and you will develop leadership skills and friendships that will last a lifetime.

As an Individual Member...

• Y ou will customize your Girl Scout experience with the support of the adult mentor of your choosing.

• You can mix and match your interests and participate in EVERY aspect of Girl Scouting, including special events, programs, service projects, travel opportunities, camp and product programs like selling Girl Scout Cookies!

• With no troop meetings, you can arrange your Girl Scout activities around your busy schedule.

• You can earn any of the recognitions and awards, including the Gold Award when you are a Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador!

Whether you are part of a troop or planning your individual adventure, you will be a Girl Scout in one of the following grade levels:

Daisy Grades K-1 Brownie Grades 2-3 Junior Grades 4-5 Cadette Grades 6-8 Senior Grades 9-10 Ambassador Grades 11-12

UNDERSTANDING HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS YOU NEED: Girl Scout groups are large enough to provide a cooperative learning environment and small enough to allow individual development. Volunteer-to-girl ratios show the minimum number of volunteers needed to supervise a specific number of girls and ensure their safety and health. Your group must have at least two unrelated, approved volunteers present at all times, plus additional volunteers as necessary for the group’s size, ages, and abilities. Any adult who supervises girls must be at least 18 years old and screened before volunteering. One Troop Co-Leader in every group must be female. See the ratio chart below.

The Girl Scout Difference We all know the Girl Scout mission: building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. But how exactly does that happen? Our success comes from focusing on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Every Girl Scout activity, program, and award teaches girls to thrive in five key areas, providing the skills needed to succeed in school and in life!

Girl Scouts are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to*: • Work collaboratively with others on group projects (86% vs. 61%) • Engage in hands-on activities and reflect on what worked/didn’t work (81% vs. 59%) • Take an active role in decision-making (80% vs. 51%)

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) Five Outcomes SENSE OF SELF Girls have confidence in themselves and their abilities, and form positive identities.

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

CHALLENGE SEEKING Girls learn to take appropriate risks, try things even if they might fail and learn from mistakes.

COMMUNITY PROBLEM SOLVING Girls desire to contribute to the world in purposeful and meaningful ways, learn how to identify problems in the community and create “action plans” to solve them.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS Girls develop and maintain healthy relationships by resolving conflicts constructively and communicating their feelings directly.

*Methodology: An online survey was conducted by the research firm Decision Analyst and consisted of 3014 girls (1507 Girl Scouts, 1507 non-Girl Scouts) aged 5-18. Quotas were set by age, race/ethnicity, region, and family income to achieve a nationally representative sample. For more information, contact gsresearch@girlscouts.org and look for more statistics from this survey throughout this book.

World Thinking Day 2019

Saturday, February 23

Did you know you have Girl Scout sisters in more than 140 countries around the world? Join us to celebrate each other, to learn about our world, and to explore and take action around a common theme. Participants are asked to choose and research a country, then prepare a colorful, interactive display to teach others about their chosen country.

HOW TO REPRESENT A COUNTRY: Step 1 – Choose a country you want to learn about. Email MemberSupport@girlscoutsnebraska.org to reserve your country and receive further information.

Step 2 – Research the country. Find out what it would be like to be a girl growing up there.

Step 3 – Create a colorful display and develop a fun, interactive activity to teach the other participants about your chosen country. Some suggestions are:

• Teach how to count to 10 in the country’s language.

• Perform a dance, play an instrument, teach a game, or make a craft unique to the country.

• Prepare and offer small samples of a food the country is known for (no nuts, please).

• Provide clothing samples, such as kimonos or sombreros to try on.

NEW FOR 2019! Daisies and new troops are invited to attend without researching a country and presenting an activity. Once you experience World Thinking Day, we’re confident you’ll be inspired to return next year representing a country!

Grades K-12 Monday, October 1, 2018 - Tuesday, April 30, 2019

artVenture is an annual event celebrating creativity and collaboration! Small groups of girls are matched with artists in their communities. Together, they create a piece of art from conception to completion. Through this project, girls learn a new art medium or technique, work closely with an artist (often in their studio), and get to know other girls interested in the same art form. Most girls also make a small piece of art to take home as a keepsake.

Participating girls and their families are invited to a reception, where they can view their artwork on display and celebrate their contribution.

Girl Scout Girl Awards Bronze. Silver. Gold. These represent the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn. All three awards give you the chance to do big things while working on an issue you care about. Whether you want to plant a community garden at your school and inspire others to eat healthily for your Bronze, advocate for animal rights for your Silver, or build a career network that encourages girls to become scientists and engineers for your Gold, you’ll inspire others (and yourself).

Girl Scout Bronze Award Grades 4-5 (Juniors) The Bronze Award is a leadership adventure and the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. As you and your team plan and complete your project, you’ll develop more confidence, meet new people and have the kind of fun that happens when you work together to make a difference.

Girl Scout Silver Award Grades 6-8 (Cadettes) Have you ever looked around your neighborhood or school and wondered how you could make a change for the better? Earning the Silver Award – the highest honor for Cadettes – gives you the chance to show that you are a leader who is organized, determined and dedicated.

Girl Scout Gold Award Grades 9-12 (Seniors and Ambassadors) Using your passion and talents you can Go Gold and earn the highest honor in Girl Scouting. Open only to girls in high school, this prestigious award challenges you to address a community problem and create a sustainable solution! The Gold Award is viewed by admissions counselors with great regard; you will be eligible for additional college scholarships; and every young woman who earns Gold is eligible to move up one rank in the military.

Pat Meyer Nebraska Young Women of Distinction We invite girls who earn their Gold Award to apply for the Pat Meyer Nebraska Young Women of Distinction recognition. At least three applicants will be chosen, and each will receive a plaque, a college scholarship and a lifetime Girl Scout membership, all provided by Pat Meyer’s family in her honor. The council then nominates those who receive this recognition for Girl Scouts of the USA’s National Young Women of Distinction award. If selected, honorees receive a $5,000 academic scholarship sponsored by Kappa Delta Foundation.

Girl Award Journeys

TAKE ACTION GIRL AWARD PROJECT IDEAS If you are looking for a Gold, Silver or Bronze Award Take Action project idea, try Community Mapping. It highlights a community’s resources and needs. As you explore your community you might discover something that you find concerning and that could be the inspiration for a great Take Action project.

Learn more about Community Mapping in the following Girl Scout Journey books: GIRLtopia: pages 90–93; BREATHE: pages 58–60; AGENT OF CHANGE: pages 70–77.

Another way to brainstorm project ideas is to start conversations! Maybe a friend or family member has a health concern? Maybe they experienced something that impacted their lives? Does hearing their story inspire you to take action?

For more inspiration, visit GirlScouts.org/mapit. This map highlights projects completed by Girl Scouts from all around the world.

Volunteer Appreciation 22 Ways to Give "Thanks" Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day is April 22!

The very essence of Girl Scouting depends upon the contributions of volunteers. Whether a volunteer contributes time because she or he loves working with girls, sharing a skill or any of a million different reasons, a heart-felt thank-you goes a long way towards making that person feel appreciated. The gesture doesn’t need to be big and grand — it can be as simple as a thank-you letter or a card signed by your troop or service unit/Girl Scout community team.

1. Smile and just say thanks in person!

2. Mail a handmade card with a thank-you proclamation signed by the whole group.

3. Sometimes, actually hearing someone say, “thank you,” can make all the difference.

Why not take it a step further and create a special video of thanks by the girls?

Then, upload it to YouTube or social media to share!

4. A unique, homemade gift bag with a custom label or a note is a simple, but heartfelt way to show your appreciation.

5. Display a thank-you poster on their lawn, mailbox or door, and tie balloons to it!

6. Place thank-you notes on their automobile at work and attach balloons to their car antenna.

7. Take a leader’s picture and send it to the newspaper; include a thank-you caption.

8. Thank leaders in person and wish them a good day!

9. Present leaders with homemade gifts from the girls and their families.

10. Record girls thanking their leaders as PSAs at local radio stations.

11. Hold an appreciation dinner at your home and get to know your leader like a friend!

12. Make a financial contribution to Girl Scouts in honor of your leader.

13. Present them with heart-shaped lapel pins.

14. Give a mug full of chocolate hugs & kisses!

15. Present volunteer appreciation certificates.

16. In appreciation for time given by volunteers, give the gift of thyme. Decorate a terracotta pot, and plant thyme. Or give dried thyme, thyme in olive oil, or bread flavored with thyme.

17. Give a festively wrapped Girl Scout Cookie box stuffed with thank-you notes from girls, families, and others (instead of cookies)!

18. Send her a E Card (find these on our website under Volunteer Appreciation).

19. Plant a tree in their honor.

20. Give a Girl Scout mug and a bag of gourmet coffee.

21. Write them a poem.

22. Get creative and come up with your own idea to honor your leader!

Community Outreach

More than 3,000 girls depend upon financial aid and our community outreach efforts to support their Girl Scout experience. Without the support of grant funding, public and private donations, and our dedicated outreach volunteers, we would not have the resources necessary to provide Girl Scouts to the girls who need us most.

Visit GirlScoutsNebraska.org to view all community outreach sites where we currently serve girls, including: • Columbus • Fremont • Grand Island

• Kearney • Lexington • Lincoln

• Omaha • Schuyler • Scottsbluff

For more information about the community outreach program, volunteering, or offering monetary support, please contact MemberSupport@girlscoutsnebraska.org.

Thank you for all you do for our girls!
