Siblings or friends, or that single left without a troop, I can\u2019t say no.\u00a0 It was during my second year as a leader that they introduced Journeys.\u00a0 Many at our service unit said \u201cNo Way, these are boring.\u201d \u00a0I tried to avoid them.\u00a0 I felt a bit guilty so having a science background I didn\u2019t let the girls choose, I picked the \u201cIt\u2019s your Planet\u201d Series and ran thru it like a science class.\u00a0 The girls weren\u2019t excited so I then tried to compensate by having super fun meetings working on badges, but not all the badges are super fun all the time and with a mixed ages we weren\u2019t\u00a0 covering stuff for each level. In the end they didn\u2019t even remember they\u2019d worked on a journey. \u00a0I needed to step back, look at it all, and plan a bit.<\/p>\n<p>As I had progressed as a leader from one age group, to two, to three and then added journeys, I wanted to find some ways that we could coordinate our meetings to be of interest to Kindergarten thru 5<sup>th<\/sup> grade.\u00a0 The girls loved the fellowship with the different age groups, but needed more developed age appropriate activities from me.\u00a0\u00a0 I decided since I would have new Daisies I\u2019d have them do the petals on year one and I\u2019d have to finally do at least one daisy journey on year two.\u00a0 I pulled out the Brownie and Junior Journeys (World of Girls and Agent of Change) and tried to find some cohesion.\u00a0 I want to capture those Daisies and make sure they love scouts. I hadn\u2019t had much luck with the flowers friends so decide to make each Petal associated with a Disney Princess.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the Daisies love all the Princesses and know them better than I, so I found 10 princesses to symbolize each piece of the Girl Scout Law.\u00a0 I started my list and things were working great when I noticed that World of Girls was about similarities, differences and interconnections between girls around the world.\u00a0 The Agent of Change journey follows the stories of powerful women and how they can make a change.\u00a0 Each petal had a princess but to tie in to the older girls each princess had a country and each country had a REAL powerful women story.\u00a0 This set our theme for each meeting.\u00a0 We had a snack from the country assigned, we had games or representative craft, and we had stories.\u00a0 It was fun for the girls to try new foods each meeting. Some things we tried; figs, humus, gruyere and goat cheese, oat cakes, croissants,\u00a0 kringla cookies,\u00a0 and ohh the SWISS chocolate!<\/p>\n<p>Each of the age groups broke off and had individual time to complete journey or badge requirements.\u00a0 For example our\u00a0\u00a0 Friendly and Helpful \u00a0meeting was Belle from France. The Daisies got to play a serving game with plates balancing balls to the tune of \u201cBe Our Guest\u201d and they made a poster with a celery stamp rose in the center of ways they could be helpful. The Brownies learned to sing Frere Jacque and worked on finding clue in stories. The Juniors heard about Joan of Arc and worked on the Power of One, they also worked on some their \u201cSocial Butterfly\u201d badge. I thought the older ones might have outgrown the princess aspect and I tried to keep it separate, often they were jealous of the games and activities the Daisies got to do while they \u201cworked\u201d thru their journey. \u00a0I let them all have a break when we got to \u201cBrave\u201d \u2013 Coureagous and Strong \u2013 for which we did mini highland games with mock caber and haggis toss games,\u00a0 and q-tip archery.<\/p>\n<p>AT the end the final piece \u201cBe a Sister to every Girl Scout\u201d We had a Princess Party.\u00a0 In talking with other leaders I found a Senior troop who on their list of things they wanted to do that year they had written \u201cDress like princesses\u201d It had confounded their leader as to why they wanted to do that as senior scouts, but it was too perfect. My troop of daisies thru juniors invited the seniors to the party.\u00a0 The seniors worked out a candle ceremony, came dressed representing each of the princesses, and had a ball with the younger girls.<\/p>\n<p>I learned that I didn\u2019t have to follow the leaders guide exactly for a journey. I needed to cover the core concepts of each piece.\u00a0 This freed me up to consider other options. Later in the year I helped our Service Unit plan a Daisy Day for \u201cBetween Earth and Sky\u201d in which we used the Wizard of OZ as a theme.\u00a0\u00a0 This year when I jumped to four levels, \u00a0I decided to try Making Friend\u2019s Journey in a Bag for each grade level to give myself a much deserved break in planning.\u00a0 They are a hit, but I feel a Cadette Level \u201cDivergent\u201d theme in my future.<\/p>\n<div class='dropshadowboxes-container ' style='width:100%;'>\r\n                            <div class='dropshadowboxes-drop-shadow dropshadowboxes-rounded-corners dropshadowboxes-inside-and-outside-shadow dropshadowboxes-lifted-both dropshadowboxes-effect-default' style=' border: 1px solid #dddddd; height:; background-color:#ffffff;    '>\r\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/222.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2120\" src=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/222-278x300.jpg\" alt=\"222\" width=\"97\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/222-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/222-628x677.jpg 628w, https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/222.jpg 812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 97px) 100vw, 97px\" \/><\/a>Rebecca Larocque, I\u2019m a leader of a mixed age group troop of 18 girls from Daisy- Cadettes.
