Leadership Journeys
Welcome to the Journeys

link to download adobe reader A key part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience is the leadership Journey, a coordinated series of activities grouped around a theme. Each Journey is tied to some of Girl Scouting's 15 national outcomes for girls, as defined in the Girl Scout Leadership Model. These outcomes are integral to the three leadership keys: Discover, Connect, and Take Action. Watch the Transforming Leadership video.

Girls now have two series of Leadership Journeys to choose from: It's Your World - Change It! and It's Your Planet - Love It!
It's Your World - Change It!

Girl Scout Daisies - Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden: In this Journey for girl in grades K-1, a favorite pastime - gardening - meets the Girl Scout Law. The result is a storybook world of flowers and little girls who, together, do great things.

Girl Scout Brownies - Brownie Quest: What are the most important keys for a Girl Scout to own? This quest, which has second- and third-graders traveling along two colorful trails—one they can enjoy on their own and one they explore with their Girl Scout group—answers that question in a very special way.

Girl Scout Juniors - 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.

Girl Scout Cadettes - aMAZE: The Twists and Turns of Getting Along: Life is a maze of relationships and this Journey has Girl Scout Cadettes maneuvering through all its twists and turns to find true friendships, plenty of confidence, and maybe even peace.

Girl Scout Seniors - GIRLtopia: Girl Scout Seniors know the world is not ideal. This Journey is their chance to imagine a perfect world—for girls.

Girl Scout Ambassadors -Your Voice, Your World: The Power of Advocacy: How often have you seen something that really needed to be changed and wondered, "Why isn’t someone doing something about that?" This Journey gives Girl Scout Ambassadors a way.

It's Your Planet - Love It!

Girl Scout Daisies - Between Earth and Sky: Daisies and their flower friends take a road trip, exploring what sprouts up across the country as they learn how to protect what needs protecting. As they zip along in Lupe’s petal-powered car, the Daisies witness some of the wonders and woes of nature.

Girl Scout Brownies - WOW! Wonders of Water: Brownie friends explore the Wonders of Water and Ways of Working as a team. Brownie ELF is back for the Very Wet Elf Adventure. In real life, the Brownies might just hold their own “Green Tea for the Blue Planet “as they earn their Love, Save, Share and Wow awards.

Girl Scout Juniors - Get Moving!: Juniors explore the energy inside them, the energy used in their spaces and the energy of getting from here to there. A new comic story, “¡Vamos Ya!” will inspire the action (walking school bus, anyone?) and Dez is back with some wit as she tries to figure out life “off the grid.”

Girl Scout Cadettes - Breathe: Cadettes engage all five senses as they clear the air-their own and Earth’s. While measuring air quality and acting to improve it, girls also find their flair, think about “Hair,” and perhaps try an éclair. From smoking to deforestation, they get an aerial view of many issues!

Girl Scout Seniors - Sow What?: Girls investigate the ‘food network’. (No, not the cable channel, the real one that gets food to our tables!) As they ponder the ‘dirt’ on land use around the world (corn’s a big issue!), girls think about who and what they can cultivate en route to earning the Harvest Award.

Girl Scout Ambassadors - Justice: Through the ages and across the world, people have yearned for justice. And yet, injustice – for Earth and all its inhabitants – continues all around us. As Ambassadors create their own unique equation for justice, they will find that they are also networking and gathering ideas for college and careers.
