Cadette Journey Description: Â
Â
Hey Girl Scouts! Are you ready to lead, take action, and change the world - all in ONE day?Â
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and start making a difference! 🌎 In just one day, we'll take on real-world challenges, brainstorm bold solutions, and turn ideas into action.Â
 Â
Journey In A Day is exactly what it sounds like-a fun-filled, action-packed day where Girl Scouts will dive deep into earning their Journey Badges all in one day! Girls will be grouped by their Girl Scout level and rotate through four exciting, hands-on activities that explore how they can use their minds, creativity, and skills to make a positive impact on the world.Â
Â
From interactive games that spark problem-solving to creative projects that inspire change, each activity is designed to be engaging, educational, and, most importantly, fun! But the journey doesn't end there-after a day full of adventure and learning, all Girl Scouts will come together to complete a Take Action Project, putting their newly discovered knowledge into practice.Â
Â
Overnight Adults Description:Â
Â
We have 2 spots available for adult volunteers to provide supervision for the LIA group overnight. Volunteers will stay in a unit near the girls, assist with head counts, and support the LIA participants during their overnight training. This is a great opportunity to help guide and encourage our future leaders while ensuring a safe and fun experience for all!Â
