Girl Scout Ambassadors

It’s Your Journey Choose It!

First Four Meetings

Congratulations on deciding to become a Girl Scout Troop Leader! As you’ve probably heard

in your training already, the Girl Scout National Program Portfolio helps girls build leadership

skills they can use to help make the world a better place. We hope that you find this guide

helpful in getting started.

Inside is an overview of four meetings you can use as you begin to meet with your troop.

We encourage you to read through it before you begin. The sessions are designed to offer

girls a sample of the themes of each Journey series. Then the girls choose which series they

want to start using with the troop, all while promoting a girl-led, cooperative and learning

by doing environment.

Like the sample sessions offered in the Journey Adult Guides, these are just a sample of

what your troop can do. You can substitute other activities to meet the needs of the troop.

Some of these specific troop needs might be based on the size of your group, your meeting

space, and the girls’ interests. Local volunteers such as your Mentor, Service Unit Manager

or other troop leaders can help give ideas and tips for working with girls.

If your troop is getting started

near one of the Council’s product

sales (Cookies or Magazines &

Munchies), you will receive

information and activities to

prepare your girls. These

activities will help the girls

develop the skills they’ll need for

successful sales. Learning by

earning is one of the many ways

girls use the Girl Scout Leadership

Experience to build self-

confidence and leadership skills.

Goal: In this session, girls will be introduced to the It’s Your World Change It Journey. Girl Scout Ambassadors discover

how the power of advocacy begins with them.

Today’s Meeting Includes the Following Activities:

The Many Moods of You

Mood Ring Mania

A is for Acting, As in Improv

Materials:

Assorted beads

Elastic string

Scissors

Markers, crayons or colored pencils

Large plain paper

Improv cards(see attached)

Bag or hat

Optional: snack

As Girls Arrive:

It’s important to always have a quiet activity for the girls to do while they wait for the meetings to start.

As girls this age rarely get time for socializing in school, this might be a good time to let them catch up with each

other before the meeting starts. If they want to talk while they do the activity, that’s ok, and if they don’t finish by the

time the meeting is ready to begin, that’s ok too!

Opening Ceremony: If your group is new to Girl Scouts: Bring the girls together in a circle. Practice making the

Girl Scout sign. Ask them to say the Girl Scout promise aloud with you, reading it one line at a time and having

them repeat it after you. Explain that the Girl Scout Law tells all the good ways that Girl Scouts treat one another

and the world, being kind and considerate, friendly and helpful, caring and thoughtful. Let them know that the law

is an important part of Girl Scouting that they will learn throughout their time as Girl Scout Ambassadors. Take

turns going around the circle saying your name and the mood they are bringing to today’s meeting.

If your group has been together a while: Ask the girls to open the meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and

the Girl Scout Promise together. Ask for a volunteer to lead the group in this opening. Then ask the girls to take

turns sharing the mood they are bringing to today’s meeting.

Business: This is a good time to talk about any product sales activities, field trip ideas or other info the group

needs to discuss or make decisions about. Let the girls know that they will discuss business at every meeting, as

they work together to choose what they will do and when they will do it!

Discover the Many Moods of You: Start a discussion with the girls about the moods they shared in the opening

ceremony. You could start the discussion like this “You’ve heard of moods rings, right? You put them on and they

change color to register your mood. What if YOU decided your mood?

Do you ever feel stuck in a rut? Perhaps you often play a certain ‘role’ with friends, at school, or at home, the

clown, the worrier, the listener, the decision makers, the chatty one, the problem solver, the quiet one? “ Suggest

It’s Your Journey Choose It Ambassador First Four Meetings

SESSION 1

that next time they are with their friends, family, or your Girl Scout group, try on a new mood. You might find that a

new aspect of your inner self makes an appearance.

Give each girl a copy of the Take 5 brainstorming sheet(see attached). Give the girls a few minutes to think about

some moods they might want to try out, using the examples on the sheet for inspiration.

Mood Ring Mania! : Now that we’ve identified the mood you want to try, let’s make a mood ring(or bracelet or

key ring). You can wear it(or attached it to your backpack or wherever). The design is up to you. Choose the

materials that represent the mood you want to try out. For example, if the color blue makes you feel calm, and you

want to try out a more calm relaxed mood, incorporate blue into your ring.

As the girls are finishing up, talk about how they would try to change someone else’s mood. What would they do if

someone was angry, or sad, or confused? What if they wanted to change someone’s opinion on something, how

would they persuade them?

A is for Acting As in Improv: Let’s practice some persuasive speaking skills now. Have girls choose a topic from

the bag/hat. Each girl has exactly one minute to speak off the cuff about her topic. After everyone has had a turn,

reflect on what it feels like to speak in front of a group, to try to convince others to see your side of the story, the

mood you feel, or the mood you are trying to make others feel. Is this something they want to practice more?

Make plans to do it at a future meeting!

Optional: Snack

Some troops like to have snack time to give the girls some energy and time to chat. This will depend on your

group, when you meet, and the rules of the space you’re using.

Use your kaper chart to help select helpers to pass out snack, napkins, and anything else you’ll need. When it’s

time to clean up, use the kaper chart to select helpers to help with clean up. Everyone should help clean up, but

the clean-up helpers remind everyone that “A Girl Scout always leaves a place better than she found it.”

Closing: Friendship Squeeze

Ask the girls to join together in a circle. Explain that they will now join hands for a special closing to their time together. Explain that in a Friendship Circle, everyone gathers in a circle where they cross their right arm over their left in front of them and hold hands with the girls on either side. Once everyone is silent, one girl starts the friendship squeeze by squeezing the hand of the person to her left. One by one, moving clockwise, each girl passes on the squeeze until it travels all the way around the circle. Before ending for the evening, let the girls know that at the next meeting you’ll be crafting with a purpose. Ask them to bring an old t-shirt along to use for their project. Finally, thank the girls for a great first Girl Scout gathering. Let them know that you really look forward to their next time together.

Let them know that the law is an important part of Girl Scouting that they will learn throughout their time as Girl Scout Ambassadors. Take turns going around the circle saying your name. Ask the girls to share their thoughts about what justice is and what affects whether or not people are treated justly.

Let the girls know that they will discuss business at every meeting, as they work together to choose what they will do and when they will do it!

Overcoming Resistance: Ask for one or two volunteers to act as referees. Then divide the remaining girls into two groups and have them line up shoulder to shoulder in two rows facing each other, three feet apart.

Have them raise both arms, waist high, with their index (pointer) fingers extended toward, but a few inches to the left or right of, the index fingers of the girls facing them.

It’s Your Journey Choose It Ambassador First Four Meetings

SESSION 2

Lay the lightweight “levitation stick” on top of all the extended fingers. Make sure the stick is in contact with all of the girls fingers. If there are a dozen girls, the stick will now be resting on 24 index fingers It will look a bit like a caterpillar with girls attached!

Then tell the girls that the goal of the group is to lower the levitation stick all the way to the ground while NEVER losing contact with any of the girls’ index fingers. If any girl loses contact with the stick with her index finger, the groups starts the challenge again at waist height.

The referee’s job is to be vigilant about finger contact! Just one slip and the game is restarted. It sounds easy but what happens is that the harder the girls try to get the stick to the ground, the ore the stick stubbornly keeps rising, in defiance of the group’s goal. They girls may laugh, but the stick keeps levitating. How come? The reason is that the upward pressure from all of the index fingers desperately trying to maintain contact with the stick is greater than the downward pressure of the weight of the stick. The result is levitation against the will of the girls! After several tries, ask the girls to consider their strategies. What approach might improve their progress? It takes concentration, communication, and teamwork to gently bring the stick to the ground. If they succeed, invite them to explain what the key to their success was, if they don’t manage to bring the stick all the way to the ground, ask them what they think would be required to do so. Is it impossible? What would need to change? Can you see any parallels with anything in your lives that reminds you of the levitation stick?

Guilty Habits: Many of us know that we should waste less paper, avoid plastic bags and bottles, and walk more and drive less. Yet we allow our busyness and our habits of convenience to excuse us from making even small changes that could add up to have an impact on Earth. Much like what happened with the levitation stick, what we value is in conflict with our self-interest. Can you think of any other actions or decisions that intersect with or conflict with what we say we care about? Give each girl a large piece of paper, on which she can write one “guilty habit” that goes against what she values and knows is good for the earth. You might be able to write one too! If anyone is struggling, offer some suggestion(bottled water, trash). When everyone has had a chance to write a guilty habit, engage in a team discussion about why we hang on to habits that go against our concern of caring for the Earth. You could ask a few questions to get the conversation going, “When convenience or self-interest and our values conflict, what wins?” “Why is it so hard to change a habit?” “Do we sometimes think that a problem is so big that our action won’t make an impact? So why bother?”

Crafting with a Purpose: Using old tshirts girls brought along to create a recycled shopping bag. See attached instructions.

Optional: Snack

Some troops like to have snack time to give the girls some energy and time to chat. This will depend on your group, when you meet, and the rules of the space you’re using. Use your kaper chart to help select helpers to pass out snack, napkins, and anything else you’ll need. When it’s time to clean up, use the kaper chart to select helpers to help with clean up.

Did You Know.... Plastic shopping bags are typically used less than 30 minutes and only 1 % are recycled. The

average American adult uses approximately 288 bags a year, or 22,000* in an average lifetime... make and use a

Recycled T-Shirt Totebag today! *Source: 2008 Piedmont Environmental Alliance, NC

This is a great opportunity to experience using a sewing machine, hand sewing or can be done without sewing!

Choose an old t-shirt and smooth it flat on a table. Use scissors to cut and remove the sleeves---make sure you leave

the seam in place---this keeps your tote strong!

Position a plate about halfway over the neck opening of the shirt. Trace the plate with your pencil or pen. This will be

your cutting line to create the opening for your tote bag. Cut along the traced line with the scissors.

Turn the T-shirt inside out and pin the bottom of the T-shirt-- along the hem--- closed.

Use the sewing machine to sew the bottom of T-shirt hem closed. Reinforce your tote bag by sewing over this seam

a second time!

Hand stitch the opening closed along the pin line. You can sew twice to reinforce it.

Or, no sew version: Do not pin the bottom of the shirt. Instead, lay your shirt flat and then set a ruler parallel to the bottom of your shirt about 5-6 inches above the bottom hem. If you’d rather not have much fringe hanging down, you can make your strips shorter. Cut 1/2 inch strips up to the ruler (I used the width of my thumb as a rough guide). It’s great to be as straight and consistent as possible, but luckily, these strips are very forgiving. Now you’re ready to start tying. Knot the two end strips by themselves, and then carefully match each top strip to each bottom strip, double knotting each tightly as you make your way across.

Variations: Consider adding a "gusset" at the bottom corners-that's where you sew across the corner at a right angle

so that the bottom of the bag has more depth and is not just flat---it "boxes" the corners of the tote bag.

- Add pockets to the tote by using the cut away sleeve scraps and fashioning them into pockets

For the new sew option: Add colorful beads and/or ribbons to the strips at the bottom of your bag (some or all strips) and then knot again at the end.

Goal: In this session, girls will be introduced to the It’s Your Story Tell It Journey. Girl Scout Ambassadors explore how wide-ranging dreams can be and how they can shape one’s life story.

Next let the girls know that this session we will focus on our dreams, not just the ones we have in our sleep, but the things we hope to achieve in our lives. To begin give everyone a chance to share one of their wildest dreams. Record these answers for later in the meeting.

Needs and Dreams: Give each of the girls some index cards and something to write with. Ask them to brainstorm all the things they consider to be their basic needs- in other words, what the girls need to survive on a daily basis. Let them know that it’s up to them to define their needs, which can be anything from food and water to makeup and music.

Have them write their needs on the index cards, one need per card.

If they’re stuck for ideas, offer them some sample needs such as oxygen, food, water, shelter, water, health, safety, love, belonging, self esteem, friendship, achievement, creativity, and morality.

Ask the girls to create enough cards so that each girl can choose two.

Keep one index card for yourself and write the word “Dreams” on it.

It’s Your Journey Choose It Ambassador First Four Meetings

SESSION 3

When all the cards are made, ask the girls to mix them up, written side down, and have each girl choose two cards.

Depending on the size of the group, suggest that the girls then break into pairs or work all together to decide the order of importance of the needs on the cards they picked, or whether they’re equally important, and why. If they break into pairs, when each pair has its cards in order, ask all the girls to come together and arrange all the cards in order of importance, most basic needs on the bottom.

When they’ve finished, ask the girls to consider the “Dreams” card you’ve been holding by posing these questions: “How about this card I’ve got- the dreams card? Where should it go? At the bottom? At the top? Somewhere in the middle?” “How much importance do you each place on dreams?’ That will determine where the card goes. Were there differences in sorting out the order of the needs cards? How did your individual opinions differ? Why do you think that is? What do you need in life before you can fulfill a dream?

Dream Questions, Dream Answers: Gather the girls together and explain that they are going be dream catchers and dream throwers. Ask them to recall the dreams they heard each other share at the beginning of the meeting. Get them thinking about it by suggesting; “Maybe one of these dreams intrigued you or you had a question you wanted to ask about it. Now’s your chance! When you have the ball/beanbag, toss it to the girl you want to ask a question about and ask! If no one volunteers to start, you start, perhaps one of the girls said she dreamed of being an architect, toss the ball to the girl and ask Where do you think the first building you design is going to be built? Continue until everyone has had a chance to ask and answer at least one question.

Dream Catcher: See attached for instructions

Optional: Snack Some troops like to have snack time to give the girls some energy and time to chat. This will depend on your group, when you meet, and the rules of the space you’re using. Use your kaper chart to help select helpers to pass out snack, napkins, and anything else you’ll need. When it’s time to clean up, use the kaper chart to select helpers to help with clean up. Everyone should help clean up, but the clean-up helpers remind everyone that “A Girl Scout always leaves a place better than she found it.”

Dream Catcher Instructions:

Cut a 70" piece of hemp or string. Tie one end to the ring. See illustration at right and began tying half hitches all

around. Pull string firmly between each loop. When you get to the middle tie off and trim. Cut a 7" pieces of hemp

or string. Tie to the bottom of the ring. Slide 3 pony beads on the strings, put a dab of glue on the shaft of two

feathers and push inside the pony beads. Cut 2 more 7" pieces of hemp or string. Repeat as above tying one to

each side of the dream catcher. Make a small loop of cord for hanging and tie to top.

Goal:

In this session, girls will choose the journey they want to work on first. Girl Scout Ambassadors discover what they care about and team up for a great adventure!

Today’s Meeting Includes the Following Activities:

• Journey Quiz • Stamp of Approval • Tally Up the Votes! • GS Taboo

Materials:

• Journey Quiz(one per girl) • Small stickers, markers, or crayons • Voting Ballots(see attached)

• Optional: Snack

As Girls Arrive:

It’s important to always have a quiet activity for the girls to do while they wait for the meetings to start. For this meeting, as girls arrive, invite to try out the Journey Quiz. Their answers might be helpful for when they vote later on in the meeting.

Setting up the Voting Station: Hang the vote sheets on the walls low enough that the girls can see them. Place stickers or markers nearby. Or you might decide that the girls could sway the votes if they are not sure about choosing differently than their friends. Set up a system for secret ballots: use slips of paper with the three journeys listed(attached). Have girls use a pencil marker or sticker to indicate which Journey they choose. Fold the paper, and drop in the ballot box! You or a helper could arrive a few minutes early to get this station ready. Or perhaps a couple of girls who arrive early could assist in setting it up.

Opening Ceremony: Start the discussion by inviting the girls to say the Girl Scout Promise together. You might tell the girls, “Before we begin to talk about and choose our journey, let’s start our meeting with the Girl Scout Promise just like we have been doing at our meetings.”

Talk to the girls about all the fun things they’ve done together so far in Girl Scouts. Allow each girl to talk about something she liked about what they’ve done so far in your meetings or something they hope to do with the group.

Investiture: Your first order of business for this meeting is to talk about and plan your troop investiture ceremony. An investiture is when new members say the promise and commit themselves to the Girl Scout

It’s Your Journey Choose It Ambassador First Four Meetings

SESSION 4

Movement. There are no formal requirements for this ceremony, but it typically includes an opening, the group recites the promise and the girls receive their Daisy Girl Scout pin. Often family and friends are invited to share in this special tradition.

Here are some tips for working with the girls to plan a ceremony:

1. Devote sufficient time to planning the ceremony. Good ceremonies have a clear purpose and enrich the meaning and mood of the ceremony.

2. Use Journey adult guides and The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting to help girls plan their ceremonies.

3. Take safety precautions when using candles or fires, or when the girls construct bridges or platforms. Refer to Volunteer Essentials and the Safety Activity Checkpoints (available through your council) for specific advice.

4. Add personal elements to traditional ceremonies. Use favorite poems, songs, stories, and sayings, or have the girls write something new.

5. Consider the role of colors and symbols that the girls might use in their ceremony. 6. Observe flag etiquette when the girls hold flag ceremonies.

When working with girls at this age level, you might find that you need to decide most of the logistics but with your help the girls can make decisions about whether to offer refreshments, choosing a song or poem, or displaying some of their work. Once you know when and where the ceremony will be, and what support you will need, be sure to share that information with troop parents so everyone is prepared and feels welcomed.

You can find inspiration online or via Pinterest or by asking other leaders in your service unit. SU Facilitators, Recognition Committee or a GSWNY Program staff member can also be a good resource when looking for ideas.

It’s Your Journey Choose It!: Let the girls know that we’re ready to start a Girl Scout Journey but first we have to choose it! Explain to the girls that a Journey is an adventure we’ll have together during our Girl Scout activities. Each Journey focuses on different topics, and we’ll also earn badges, go on field trips, make art projects, play games have lots of fun!

Remind the girls about all the exciting things they can do in each of the journeys:

• What can I do? Girls discover their values and then partner together to discover their personal and collective power to give a voice to issues they care about.

• Are you a wise one? Girls will learn about social and environmental justice and how to be and encourage others to be stewards for the planet.

• Live your Bliss. Discover your dreams and set yourself on a path to making them come true.

Give your stamp of approval: It’s time to give your stamp of approval. Invite the girls to vote for the one(s) they most want to try out first. Explain how to vote, based on your set up earlier. If you gave them more than one sticker, they can divide their votes based on multiple interests. Or the girls can draw a heart or

star or a smiley face on the sheet for the Journey they want to vote for. The Journey with the most votes will be the one the troop begins. Tally up the votes! : Once all the girls have had a chance to put their stamp on the journey they chose, count up the votes for each one. Once the votes are tallied, the winner can be announced, but also let the girls know, there will be opportunities to choose to learn about other topics, so if their first choice was not selected, there will be times when the troop will do other things that are of interest to them(Learn more about the world, take field trips, do art projects, play games, and earn badges!

GS Taboo: Rules: A girl picks a card and tries to get the group to say the top word or phrase without using any form of the word or any of the words listed below it. Can compete in teams or play just for fun with the group. See attached for cards.

Optional: Snack Some troops like to have snack time to give the girls some energy and time to chat. This will depend on your group, when you meet, allergies and the rules of the space you’re using.

Use your kaper chart to help select helpers to pass out snack, napkins, and anything else you’ll need. When it’s time to clean up, use the kaper chart to select helpers to help with clean up. Everyone should help clean up, but the clean-up helpers remind everyone that “A Girl Scout always leaves a place better than she found it.”

Closing: Friendship Squeeze Ask the girls to join together in the circle. Explain that they will now join hands for a special closing to their time together. Explain that in a Friendship Circle, everyone gathers in a circle where they cross their right arm over their left in front of them and hold hands with the girls on either side. Once everyone is silent, one girl starts the friendship squeeze by squeezing the hand of the person to her left. One by one, moving clockwise, each girl passes on the squeeze until it travels all the way around the circle. Finally, thank the girls for another great Girl Scout gathering. Let them know that you are really excited to begin the Journey they chose tonight, and congratulate them for working together as a team!
