  • Activity List  (Not Available Yet)

Our Summary* of requirements:

  1. Power of One – Find a female anywhere in the world who mobilized others/made a difference and learn her story. THEN relate which aspects of the Girl Scout Law she demonstrated. LAST make a list of strengths/power each scout has available to make their own changes for good.
  2. Power of Team – Pick an issue in the community the scouts can tackle AND make a detailed plan on how the team can work together to make a difference.
  3. Power of Community – Do a Take Action Plan (TAP) AND reflect on what they accomplished after. (Hint – The TAP does not have to be the plan made in Step 2, but using Step 2 to plan the TAP is a great time saver.)

* – This summary is based off the GSUSA booklet activity choices.

    • discover what the Girl Scout Law and true “heroines” share
  2. Power of Team
    • create a short “supergirl” story, comic, or TV script in which the characters take one small situation they care about and strive for long-lasting community change
    • make a team decision and write their team hopes for a Take Action Project that reaches into a community network to solve a problem together with community members
  3. Power of Community
    • take action on their plan, reach out, join others and get them involved, and start something that snowballs into a change in their world
    • join in their Girl Scout Junior circle to reflect on what they accomplished and celebrate it
