Girl Scout Week

Spirit Sunday

Spread some joy today with a simple act of kindness—compliment a stranger or lend a hand to a neighbor. There are many ways big and small you can make a difference.

• Complete the Find Your Superpower Guide Book! For girls age 5 - 8.
• As a CSA you can volunteer at a council run event. 
• Become a Camp Program Aid and be a role model in another person's life. 
• Earn a highest award. Show everyone how you’ll do it by earning the Girl Scout Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards. Each award will challenge you and helps you take action in a big way.

Affirmation Monday

Start the week with good vibes! Post a positive quote or text a friend something that’ll brighten their day. 

• Talk to a friend about joining Girl Scouts!

Troop Tuesday

Check in with a fellow Girl Scout and see how you can support each other this week! Consider sending a ‘cheer’ within Digital Cookie if you are in season. Strong friendships are a critical aspect of one's emotional well-being. Research indicates that close friendships are associated with greater happiness, self-esteem, and sense of purpose. 

• Invite a friend to join you at a Girl Scout event! They do not need to be a Girl Scout to attend.
  • Down the Bunny Trail: Roast Peeps S’mores, create an egg-cellent craft, enjoy a fun scavenger hunt around Bunny Village, snap a photo with the Bunny and much more!
• Sing the Make New Friends song! 

Girl Scout Birthday

Girl Scouting was founded on March 12, 1912, by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, GA. Juliette gathered 18 girls from her cousin’s school and broke the conventions of the time—reaching across class, cultural, and ethnic boundaries to ensure all girls, including those with so-called disabilities, had a place to grow and develop their leadership skills.

• Join us for a Girl Scout Birthday Party! Let's celebrate the best girl led organization in the world turning 113 years old and still going strong. Learn about Girl Scout history, take part in traditional ceremonies, explore our council museum corner at the Program Activity Center with a scavenger hunt and decorate your own Girl Scout themed cupcake. Come show your Girl Scout pride!
• Rock your favorite Girl Scout gear this Wednesday then share a pic on social, remember to tag us @girlscouts and use #NationalGirlScoutDay. 
• Do something that shows off or expresses your Girl Scout confidence!

Thankful Thursday

Share and look back fondly on some of your favorite Girl Scout memories!

• Share photos with council from years ago or from just a few days ago. A favorite memory from Girl Scout Camp, your bridging ceremony, or the first day you joined Girl Scouts, there are no limitations on what you can share!
• Send a heartfelt Thank You card to someone who makes a difference in your life!

Flash Foward Friday

Dream big! Share a goal you’re excited about with a friend.

• Set your cookie goals. From 30 Boxes to 300 Boxes, setting weekly challenges can help motivate and encourage a successful sale.

Take Action encourages girls to develop a project that is sustainable. That means that the problem continues to be addressed, even after the project is over. Sustainability simply means coming up with a solution that lasts.

• Here are three ways to create sustainable change: 1. Make your solution permanent. 2. Educate and inspire others to be part of the change. 3. Change a rule, regulation or law
• Become a Climate Advocate! As climate change affects our planet, it’s up to us to do what we can to protect our Earth. When you participate in the Girl Scout Climate Challenge, you’ll get outdoors to learn about climate science, connect with your community to understand how it is impacted by climate change and spread awareness of the issue to make a difference. 

Service Saturday

Give back by volunteering at a local shelter or lending a helping hand to those in need.

• Research at least one religion that is different from your own. Share what you learn with friends or family!
• Think about the ways that the Girl Scout Promise and Law are similar to lessons you’ve learned in your faith community.
• Earn your My Promise, My Faith Award work with your family and faith leaders to earn the pin to celebrate the connection between the Girl Scout Promise and Law and your faith.

Bonus: Invite a friend to learn with you!

Girl Scout Sabbath

Girl Scout Sabbath celebrates the powerful ties between Girl Scouting and faith. Girl Scouts are encouraged to connect their faith to the Girl Scout Law and earn the religious recognitions of their faith. Let’s honor the Girl Scouts and adult volunteers who give their time and talents in service of others!
