In this video, Girl Scouts from Troop 5130 provide tips to Brownies on completing their Give Back badge. This badge is focused on using the cookie sale to help girls to "give back" in their community. Troop 5130 has used some of their cookie sale proceeds and donated cookies to support their Bronze Award project. The project, a year-long educational initiative designed to empower other Girl Scouts to support the homeless, featured a lunch-making service activity. We used some cookie proceeds to buy groceries, paired with donated Girl Scout cookies and other groceries, and made 150 lunches this year. In this video, Folasade, Missiah, and Brooklyn encourage Brownies to think about supporting the homeless as well.
As many troops are moving to online meetings, it may be fun to attempt a journey. Last fall, I hosted a Journey in a Day for Juniors to complete the Agent of Change journey in one day-long retreat. The event was held in a library so we were able to research female change agents in the children's biography section... but girls could research via the internet (maybe watch YouTube videos) in place of that... Leaders, take a look at my plan and feel free to make it your own!
