BROWNIE
Making Games
Step 1 – Try a Scavenger Hunt: Scavenger hunts are a great way to have fun with your
friends or get to know new people. In this step, make your own. First, decide what you’ll look for. Then go on
your search. -
DAISY
Good Neighbor
Step 2 – Discover your city or town: In your city or town, neighbors work together in lots of different places. These places help make sure everyone has what they need. How many different places can you think of?
Step 3 – See what makes your state special: There are 50 states in the United States. They’re all neighbors to one another, and each one is special in its own way. When you put them together, they make a big community – and your part of it. See what makes your state unique in this step. -
JUNIOR
Playing the Past
Step 5 – Become your character: Now, act as your character. Wear your costume and plan to share one thing about your life. You could teach some friends a game you learned, share the food you made with your family, or tell anything else you can dream up to other Girl Scout Juniors or classmates at school.Gardener
Step 1 – Visit a garden: The best way to get inspired about gardening is to explore and enjoy a well-cared- for garden. Take a tour of one of the gardens below to start learning about how gardens are planted, how to take care of them, and the right way to pick flowers when they’ve blossomed. -
SENIOR
Social Innovator
Step 1 – Explore the big picture: You need to understand how an issue fits in the world at large before you can form a strategy to make a difference. Pick one choice to expand your understanding of your chosen issue. Here, we’ve used “healthy eating” as an example to show how each choice offers possibilities for exploration.
Step 3 – Build empathy for people affected by your issue: Gaining empathy – that’s being able to connect to the thoughts and feelings, and attitudes of others – helps innovators develop a gut sense of which ideas could work and which won’t, and how to make existing solutions better.
