Girl Scout Leadership Experience Program Portfolio Benefits Girls Step 1: Choose a Journey!

A key part of the GirlScout Leadership Experience is the leadership journey, a coordinated series of activities grouped around a theme. Each of the following series have age-appropriate books that invite girls to be active participants in shaping their Girl Scout experiences. Adult facilitator guides also available. Be sure to check out the Journey Jumpstart events listed in this guide, or stop in to any Girl Scout shop to check out the resources in person. It’s Your Story – Tell It! • Uses a storytelling theme in a fun and grade-level relevant way for girls to better understand themselves and their potential. • Building a strong sense of self is an underlying goal of the series, which was made possible in part by a generous grant from the Dove Self-Esteem Fund. It’s Your Planet – Love It! • In this journey series, girls at each grade level learn about grade-appropriate environmental issues such as clean water and air, noise pollution, global warming, soil contamination, and agricultural processes. It’s Your World – Change It! • Engages girls in critical thinking processes related to identifying and researching issues they care about. • Engages girls in developing community networks and creating and implementing plans of action. Each journey is tied to some of Girl Scouts’ 15 national outcomes for girls. These outcomes are integral to the three leadership keys: Discover, Connect, and Take Action.

Step 2: Build Skills, Earn Badges, Give Service

THE 15 OUTCOMES OF THE NEW GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

Discover

Connect Once girls have selected a journey book, review the NEW Girl’s Guides to Girl Scouting, available for every age level. Designed with bright colors and fun graphics, the guides feature three sections: a handbook, the awards (badges) and a section for girls to personalize with their memories. Each badge has five steps, and girls must complete all the steps to earn the badge. Optional service ideas are provided for all girls to consider when they feel they know the subject matter well enough. The guides include stories and tips, historical information and activities that will interest girls at all age levels. The most important thing to remember: “It’s not about how many badges a girl earns, but what she learns!”

Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards

The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are Girl Scouting’s highest awards. These awards offer girls relevant, gradelevel-appropriate challenges related to teamwork, goal setting, community networking and leadership. They also engage girls in building networks that not only support them in their award projects, but in new educational and career opportunities. Like everything girls do in Girl Scouting, the steps to earning these awards are rooted in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. This is why, to earn each of these awards, girls first complete a grade-level journey (two journeys for the Gold Award). With journeys, girls experience the keys to leadership and learn to identify community needs, work in partnership with their communities and carry out take-action projects that make a lasting difference. They can then use the skills they developed on a journey to develop and execute excellent projects for their Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.

Camp CEO: Changing Definition of Leadership, Changing Lives Camp CEO is simply not like anything you’ve ever experienced. As a girl participant, you will discover that the women who run local companies and make important decisions every day were once teens just like you, trying to decide where to go to college and what they wanted to be. This is YOUR chance to ask them questions, hear their surprising stories and learn how the choices they made impacted their lives. In addition to powerful one-onone sessions with the women who volunteer their time to be at Camp CEO, you’ll also connect to other teen girls by participating in fun camp-based activities like geocaching (high-tech scavenger hunting), swimming, team-building games and archery. Participate in yoga, self defense, dressing for success and networking workshops. Then plan and host a huge dinner party with fancy place-settings, table decorations and party food. The adult campers, the CEOs, will participate right along with you in all these activities.

Session 4: Mock Trial Preparation

These flexible options for membership give girls choices and the freedom to customize their Girl Scout experiences in fun ways. Be in a troop ... or not. Travel ... or stay local. Attend events that you put together from this guide! You choose!

Step into the shoes of a real courtroom attorney by participating in a mock trial exercise. At this preparation session, attorneys from the Alliance For Women will introduce you to a practice legal case. You will learn the facts about the case, be assigned a role and then practice giving an argument and/ or examining a witness. The attorneys will be there to give you tips and help you practice.

Project Law Track

Session 5: Mock Trial in a Real Court Room

What is Project Law Track?

What Girls Say ... “I loved learning all about different kinds of laws and interacting with real lawyers. I thought the mock trial was amazing and I can’t wait to participate again!”

Project Law Track is a series of interactive sessions all relating to the interesting field of law. Female attorneys with the Chicago Bar Association’s Alliance for Women committee and several teen Girl Scouts have designed the following dynamic sessions.

Session 1: Law as Seen on TV: Law and Order, Judge Judy, Legally Blonde. Are these shows that you like to watch? Then come to our first law session to determine fact from fiction. We’ll point out the attorney, judge, jury and others who work in the courtroom and watch one of these TV shows and discuss the roles and responsibilities of the actors with female attorneys.

Session 2: Law Career Day

When people think about a lawyer or a career in law, they may not realize how many different types of lawyers there are – so many specialties and so many interests. This is your chance to interact with various female attorneys, learn about their different careers, find out how they became interested in the law, receive first hand advice and ask your questions

Session 3: Law School Day

Ever considered a career in law but didn’t quite know how to get there? Which undergraduate programs are the best and what type of law field could you be most successful in? Now is your chance to talk to real law students from an area law school. Get a better understanding of the transformation from undergraduate student to a law school student. Learn tips from current students about how you can be the most successful while at law school and eventually the successful lawyer you were born to be. Page 10

Now you’re ready to try your case in a real courtroom! You’ll play the same role you practiced at the preparation session, except this time you’ll get to do it in front of a courtroom. This is a fun exercise in which you’ll learn what it feels like to be a trial attorney and receive positive feedback from judges, attorneys and other Girl Scouts who will be there to cheer you on.

Girl Scout Cookies Everyone loves Girl Scout cookies. They practically sell themselves – as long as there’s a Girl Scout standing behind the sweet treat. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is not just about cookies: it is the nation’s premier entrepreneurship program for girls. The Cookie Program, an integral part of Girl Scouting’s Business and Economic Literacy Initiative, provides finance, marketing, public speaking, and lifelong skills, along with valuable experiences that build girls’ self-confidence and help them develop their own leadership style. All of the funds raised stay within the local council to benefit girls directly, through troop/group proceeds, and indirectly by subsidizing the cost of providing the Girl Scout Program to every girl member.

All Girls: You’re invited to participate in fun activities that will help you earn this 2012 GSUSA Cookie Pin! All Girl Scouts and Families: Join in for pre-game fun at 5 p.m. Participate with other Girl Scouts before the hockey game.

Cookie Club: The Fastest, Easiest Way to Reach Your Girl Scout Cookie Goals Let your big, ambitious goals motivate you! Step up your marketing game plan in new ways this year, including through the Cookie Club for online order-taking (although delivery and payment transactions must still be done in person!) Girls can join the online Cookie Club to send e-mails to customers asking them to purchase Girl Scout Cookies to support their goals. Customers return their cookie order using an online order form which is recorded automatically in the girls’ Cookie Club account. Girls are not allowed to accept payment online and will still personally deliver cookies to their customers when collecting payment.

Girl Scout troops/groups use proceeds to fund program activities they have planned such as overnight stays at camp, service projects and special trips. The remainder of the proceeds subsidizes council-wide services that provide additional benefits to girls including financial assistance, camp and facility maintenance, leadership development for adult volunteers, special initiatives in financially disadvantaged neighborhoods and other opportunities for girls.

What Does It Have for Girls? It’s Your Future! – A simulated city that has been customized to adopt and incorporate Chicago-land institutions and businesses. Every “business” uses computers and other digital equipment for a variety of activities as an integral part of their operations. Girls run all aspects of their very own city – from publishing the daily newspaper, running the production studio, distributing goods and services or upholding the laws of the land as the policeman, judge or mayor! It’s Your Planet! – This is a 10,000-square foot “Eco-Lab” where girls are transformed into young scientists. A crisis is building to a crescendo in the wetlands. A flood has washed away surface soils and drastic erosion is occurring. Excited young “scientists” game-plan solutions to save the ecosystem. This dramatic environment realistically portrays four North American ecosystems – Cave, Forest, Prairie and Lake. The activities within each ecosystem challenge the scientists to work together to restore habitats within the facility and beyond to life-sustaining levels.

Murals are a great way to tell stories! And, you can express yourself, educate and inspire others and boost confidence in the process! Team up with your Girl Scout sisters to create a mural that shares a story about an important issue:

Draft a storyboard!

Jot down notes and sketch potential images for your story.

Tell your story on canvas!

Start with pencil or chalk, then, once consensus is reached and the story feels complete, fill in work with markers or paint.

Share with others!

Unveil the mural at a community center, at school during lunchtime, or at a place of worship after a service, which will give you a chance to discuss with the public the meaning and creative process behind your work. When you have the opportunity to express yourself in a way that engages members of your community, you’ll gain confidence and feel empowered to continue to make positive changes in the world! This activity is adapted from aMUSE, developed for Girl Scout Juniors as part of the newest leadership journey series, It’s Your Story—Tell It!

Daisies can design a flower power car for their flower friends (see page 23); Brownies can learn about the water cycle and create their own self-watering flower garden (see page 22); and Cadettes can explore how everyday items cause pollution in the air we breathe (see page 23). If you’re a Cadette, Senior or Ambassador, check out the Eco-Adventures take action project on page 24! You can learn about the various eco-systems at Camp Palos. Or, brave the winter chill and explore “Life in the Cold, Winter Ecology” workshop described on page 27. You’ll investigate how alive the outdoors is, even during the middle of winter!

She attend a workshop called “Are You Prepared for an Emergency?” led by a local storm chaser. She loved it so much that she signed up for it again and took her grandma, mother, and father with her. “I signed up for it because I thought it would really interesting and a lot of other Girl Scouts were also talking bout how much they loved these classes. So, my mom and I went online to find out more.” After attending a few workshops, Katie started a website about disaster preparedness for kids. “Kids can make a real difference. I hoped that the website would save lives.”

Who says boys are better at sports than girls? “Eighty-three percent of very active girls say that physical activity makes them feel good about themselves.” – The New Normal? What Girls Say About Healthy Living (2006), Girl Scout Research Institute Girls, get more exercise and have fun doing it through the many sports and outdoor programs in this book. Every year the women athletes at North Central College invite a group of Girl Scouts to spend the weekend on campus playing indoor sports, watching movies, and eating pizza. Sounds like a weekend of lots of fun! Athletes come in all different shapes and sizes and most of them are not the perfect size zero often emphasized in the media we see .Athletes have a lot of muscles to help them become better at the sport they’re playing. Get moving and get interested in sports!

Girl Combines Love of Sports and Girl Scouts Get the inside scoop from Maxine Hardman, a 10-year-old Junior Girl Scout in Troop 20494 who maintains a busy schedule competing in gymnastics and staying involved in Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts has helped her excel at gymnastics by encouraging her to support her team. “Keeping a smile on my face, even when I don’t want to, keeps my teammates in a good mood. I try to be a sister Girl Scout to everyone I meet,” says Maxine. Maxine is a driven gymnast who balances school work and competition, while committing to helping others. She is an athlete AND a Girl Scout and has found a way to incorporate both together in her life. She decided to take the No Smoking Pledge as part of her work to complete the Agent of Change journey, and while working on this journey she got 15 of her teammates to also take the pledge!! To her, living a health lifestyle means, “…eating healthy, drinking plenty of water and exercising.” Her advice to you: “Well, you have to have patience, determination and strength in gymnastics and you need those in Girl Scouts, too. When you work on a project or play games, they might be a little bit tricky; you need the strength to help you win the game. You have to have patience to complete badge work and not get frustrated and stop!”

Teen Girl Scout Shares Highlights of Colorado Trip Holly Swisher, a local Girl Scout, loved participating in the 2011 Colorado trip. She discovered information about the trip when she saw it on our local council Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ GirlScoutsGCNWI. At the start of the trip Holly was excited, but also scared and nervous since she was traveling without her parents for the first time. She was also one of the few girls who had signed up without a troop! “I didn’t know anyone going and I was going to be living with four complete strangers for eight days. However, after we arrived I learned more about them and we became friends!” said Holly. “They had so many activities to do, we never rested! They had a high challenge, which was very exhilarating! The workers that were there would strap you onto a harness to make sure you would not fall. Then you climb a 25-foot pole! Then once you got to the top, you would jump off, and try to grab a trapeze! No one in our group could grab the trapeze, but it was fun just to swing down.” During their stay in Colorado these very adventurous Girl Scouts also went horseback riding and white water rafting. “You will have the time of your life in Colorado, because this experience was all I hoped it would be!”

Everyone has a list of things they want to do. Now you can start crossing off items on your bucket list by seizing the opportunity to travel abroad. Girls who have done it claim that it has been a lifechanging experience for them. Not only will you see new things and meet different people, but you will also learn a lot about yourself, test your limits, and learn how to be independent. Traveling internationally is made simple through “destination” trips. Destinations are national and international trips that focus on outdoor adventures, science and almost everything in between!
