GS Law Game Design

Fulfills Step 3 of GSUSA Brownie Girl Scout Way badge requirements.

Items Needed

Instructions

  1. Provide each scout with a copy of the Girl Scout Promise and Law, a piece of paper, and a pen or pencil.
  2. Explain that sisterhood isn’t just about family—it can be about those who share similar values and interests. Highlight how Girl Scouts around the world are part of a growing sisterhood united by the mission to make the world a better place. Discuss how the Girl Scout Law guides behavior and builds connections within this sisterhood.
  3. Ask scouts to think about their favorite line from the Girl Scout Law. Encourage them to consider why that line stands out to them.
  4. Challenge scouts to use their favorite line from the Girl Scout Law as inspiration to invent a game. Encourage scouts to be as imaginative as they want while focusing on the values they chose. Examples:
    • If they love “considerate and caring,” they could create a game involving the names of others in the troop.
    • If they love “using resources wisely,” they could design a game that uses materials found around them creatively.
  5. Once the games are created (as an idea, not a prototype), scouts take turns presenting their games to the troop.
