When we have pride in where we live, it shows in so many different ways. For example, my boss recently sold her home in a town with two high schools and moved to a smaller place in my town, which has one high school. She attended our town’s annual community festival for the first time and when I saw her the next day, she told me she felt a sense of pride that she…

You can blame it on the media, parents, and society at large, but as a Girl Scout leader, you have the power to make a difference in the lives of your girls. Your meetings are a safe place for your troop to express themselves and to learn how to get along with others. Earning the Girl Scout Brownie Being Your Best Self badge will help the girls to see…

Being organized and “ready to launch” gets any person’s day off on the right start. With the right clothing set out the night before, bookbag packed and lunch in the refrigerator ready to go, it is the starting point of a great day!

*This post contains affiliate links. Updated April 2023 We use our five senses without even knowing it, and we can make the girls more aware of them while earning the Brownie Girl Scout Senses badge. The activities for earning this badge are a lot of fun and can easily be completed in one Brownie meeting. Once the meeting has started, ask the girls to name the five senses.

*All posts have been updated in April 2023 to ensure that all of the links are still viable for leaders to use. I have been my younger daughter’s Girl Scout leader since 2008, when I started my troop of six little Daisy Scouts. Like many leaders, I felt a bit overwhelmed when I first started, even though I had been an elementary school and preschool teacher since 1987. My leadership training was practically non-existent, and the internet did not have many resources available. Every time I…

In all honesty, I had never heard of the term, but the more I read about it, the interested I became! Letterboxing, in a nutshell, is a scavenger hunt for hidden treasure…treasure that you as the leader have not planted for your girls to find. Others have done this for you. In fact, according to letterboxing.org, there are over 20,000 letterboxes in North…

*This post contains affiliate links. Updated April 2023 Of all the badges that girls love to earn, the arts and crafts one were, by far, my troop’s favorite to do. Based on a lot of what I have read, many other troops also enjoy crafting badges and activities. Art cannot be rushed. The Brownie Painting badge is one that needs time and will be earned in at least two meetings, if not three. Can you image Picasso being told to hurry up and finish your painting, we have to leave the building and…
