The new Guides and Journeys have several opportunities to explore travel at the different Girl Scout levels. What have you done with your troop? Please share in the comments which badges and journeys have travel components. \u00a0I’ve linked to some planning guides that break down which badges and journeys work on different interest areas:<\/p>\n

Encourage girls to choose one of the\u00a0three series of National Leadership Journeys. The Journey\u2019s theme will give girls a way to explore leadership\u00a0through their travels. Use the adult guide to incorporate activities and discussions that help girls explore the\u00a0Three Keys to Leadership (Discover, Connect, and Take Action) as they plan their trip and eventually travel.\u00a0Tying your trip to the topic of a Leadership Journey is a cinch. For example, if Cadette girls have chosen MEdia,\u00a0before their trip they can read online newspapers from the area to which they\u2019re traveling\u2014and evaluate\u00a0when they arrive how well the media reflects the realities there. If Senior girls are using SOW WHAT?, they can\u00a0plan to observe agricultural practices in other parts of the country or around the world. Ambassadors using\u00a0BLISS: Live It! Give It! can build a trip around dreaming big\u2014and empowering others in their community to The new Guides and Journeys have several opportunities to explore travel at the different Girl Scout levels.

\ndream big, too.\u00a0If girls also want to complete skill-building badge requirements as part of their trip, they can. The most obvious\u00a0example is the Senior Traveler badge, which fits perfectly into planning a trip. In addition, girls can explore\u00a0other badge topics, depending on the focus of their trip. For examples, Cadettes can explore the food in other\u00a0regions or countries for their New Cuisines badge, Seniors can find out about international business customs as\u00a0part of their Business Etiquette badge, and Ambassadors can work on their Photography badge while\u00a0documenting their trip.\u00a0Be sure to visit the \u201cGirl Scouting as a National Experience\u201d chapter in this handbook to find out more about\u00a0the three exciting series of Journeys and The Girl\u2019s Guide to Girl Scouting.\u00a0To ensure that any travel you do with girls infuses the Girl Scout Leadership Experience at every opportunity,\u00a0limit your role to facilitating the girls\u2019 brainstorming and planning\u2014but never doing the work for them. Allow\u00a0the girls to lead, learn collaboratively, and learn by doing (and by making mistakes). All the while, however,\u00a0provide ideas and insight, ask tough questions when you have to, and support all their decisions with\u00a0enthusiasm and encouragement!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
