It's Your World—Change It!
Introducing the First Series of Journeys
Agent of Change
Power. In this journey, there’s a whole spiral of it waiting
for Girl Scout Juniors. The journey is filled with ceremonies and
circles, real-life heroines, and special new characters, including the
fashion-savvy spider named Dez. Along the way, girls learn how their own
power combines into team power and then moves out to become community
power (kind of like how Dez weaves her web from the inside out). The
journey’s centerpiece is a comic story of girl heroines who will inspire
the Juniors as they take action to improve their own community.
Journey Awards
This Junior journey is filled with fun and friendship. From
its start to its closing celebration, the girls will move from a deeper
understanding of themselves to exploring how powerful they are as a
team, to realizing the added strength they gain by reaching out in the
wider community to take action with its members. Agent of Change offers
girls a chance to earn three awards and record progress throughout the
journey in their own ''Award Tracker.''
- To earn The Power of One Award,
girls will discover and share the powerful story of a forgotten woman
or girl from around the world who mobilized others and made a
difference, discover all the ways their own strengths and powers help
them create change in the world, and discover what the Girl Scout Law
and true ''heroines'' have in common
- To earn The Power of Team Award, girls connect
with their Girl Scout crew to create a ''super girl'' story in which
the characters take one small situation they care about and strive for
long-lasting community change. Girls will also make a team decision and
write their team hopes for a Take Action Project that reaches into a
community network to solve a problem together with community members
- To earn The Power of Community Award, girls
take action on their plan, reach out, join others and get them
involved, and start something that snowballs into a change in their
world. Girls join in their Girl Scout Junior circle to reflect on what
they accomplished and celebrate it.
