It’s Your Journey-Customize It!

There are all kinds of fun activities for girls to do in Girl Scouting, like earning badges, going camping, taking trips, selling cookies, enjoying traditions and aiming for their Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards. What ties all these different activities together? The Leadership Journeys, Girl Scouting’s core national program!

Research tells us that girls and their parents think it’s important for girls to have a national experience – something they have in common with all other Girl Scouts. That’s what Journeys offer. However, each girl’s Journey can be customized to fit her own interests and to take advantage of local resources. An online resource has been developed to give you a few ideas to get you started – online Journey maps for each grade level.

You will find that this page has links that lead to interactive Journey maps for each grade level that show you how to tie Girl Scout activities into journeys, descriptions of what’s inside each journey, and the awards girls can earn. The journey maps also include information about the adult guide for each grade level, Bronze, Silver and Gold award.

Once you’ve explored the journey maps, start thinking about ways you could tie activities into journeys. Share the maps with girls and get their ideas, too. Have fun! After all, it’s your journey – customize it!
