Journeys Make Your Lives Bigger
Life is a journey, particularly for girls. On every journey, you start somewhere, perhaps with an invitation, a picture that inspires you, or words in a book. You make a decision to go somewhere new. And on the way, you might try foreign foods, visit new places, hear new ideas that spark your imagination, forge new friendships, and take home beautiful memories and perhaps a few keepsakes. Most importantly, you come home a little wiser…and your world is a little bigger.
The journey books take girls on new adventures, where they will discover, connect, and take action to make a difference in the world. Journey books are designed to take girls to new places, all under the umbrella of a particular theme. Leaders' expertise, experience, and imagination help bring the books to life and make the journey unique.
Each journey adult guide has been created specifically for you, providing information that helps you facilitate discussions and activities with girls. Included in each adult guide are explanations of journey themes, sample sessions, tips for encouraging girls to choose and complete activities, and ideas for Take Action projects. Journey books give purpose and structure to the year as you and the girls define goals and choose activities related to a central theme. They also describe how to make sure the Girl Scout Leadership Experience is girl-led. Girls define their own goals and the activities they want to pursue, while you guide them and lend your expertise.
