WHERE DO I START?First, plan your calendar with the girls. On your troop calendar, include the following: Troop Meeting Dates School Holidays Special Girl Scout Days (see Ceremonies & Traditions section of this booklet) Service unit Events GSHNC Programs Any other events that will affect your girls.There are so many great program options for Girl Scout Juniors that it’s sometimes hard to knowwhere to turn first. We recommend: Follow the outlines in this booklet for your first 8 meetings, where you and the girls willparticipate in fun, get-to-know-you activities, have an Investiture Ceremony, and learn abouttroop government. Then begin the Agent of Change It’s Your World – Change It! Leadership Journey. Where yougo next is up to you and the girls!o Option 1: Go straight through the Agent of Change journey, which is focused onexposing the girls to the Power of One, the Power of Team and the Power of Community.In completing the journey, the girls will earn three awards. The journey will takeapproximately 3-4 months to complete in this way. After finishing the journey, beginworking on Badges that relate to what you learned in the journey, or those of the girls’choice.o Option 2: Stretch out the journey for the entire year. Make several “detours” along thejourney to earn Badges that go along with activities in the ourney, or just because thegirls become interested in a certain topic. Depending on your meeting schedule, work onthe journey 1 or 2 meetings per month and on Badges or other activities the other 1 or 2meeting per month. Some Badges that can tie into the Quest include: Session 1: Girl Scouts in the USA Session 2: It’s Important to Me; girls’ choice from the Be Healthy, Be Fit section Session 3: Pet Care, Plants and Animals Sessions 4: Lead OnNot Just What, But HowKeep in mind that how you engage the girls in an activity is just as important as what they’re doing. AllGirl Scout activities are based on three processes: Girl Led, Learning by Doing, and Cooperative Learning. More information about the threeprocesses can be found in the Journey Adult Guide and at Leadership Essentials training.Used together, these processes ensure that girls are working in partnership with you and each other,developing their leadership skills, and exploring the fun and friendship of Girl Scouting!14
