I had gotten some ideas from the internet of other girls' projects. It was quite aMusing to see how they wanted to look in the future - some edgy hairstyles came out! (Sorry - I didn't take pics of this activity.)Īfternoon Snack: 15 minutes. They drew "future portraits" of themselves. Not surprisingly, they were very adamant in what they wanted to be. I encouraged them to step outside of what they thought they would be right now (a vet, a zoologist, etc) and to think of something completely different. This was a great activity and the girls learned some things about themselves! Some learned that they had trouble relaxing, some found they had no trouble at all, some enjoyed the feel of a rolled blanket beneath their knees, some were ok with a cloth over their face while others were a little fearful of that.ĭream Roles: we discussed some potential roles the girls might think of for themselves in the future. We ended up eating our afternoon snack while finishing an activity. Note: we DID stay on track for the most part but some activities took a little longer and some took less time. I included time for lunch, a morning snack, and an afternoon snack. I created my own outline of activities for each award and a time limit for each activity. I needed activities that would go along with the theme of the Journey but also get the girls moving and not sitting at a table all day. I took Jen's advise on not getting bogged down in the details. Pinterest (I love Pinterest) - snack ideas.I ended up not using the Girl Book except for reading a couple of stories about roles for women.
As it turned out, we finished by 5pm! Yay!! (I was right!) I scheduled the Mansion 9am to 6pm. I chose a Saturday because, after reading Jen's post, I knew it would take all day to accomplish everything we needed to do. The Mansion has several rooms to use, two bathrooms, and a kitchen.
I believe the house was built sometime mid-1900s. We call it the Girl Scout Mansion - although it is far from a mansion. My Service Unit is lucky enough to have an old house donated by the awesome owners for Girl Scout use. I secured a location that would allow the girls move around inside without being too cramped and with outside space to let them get the wiggles out. Several of my 5th grade Juniors needed to earn their 3rd Journey in order to earn the Junior Summit Award before bridging to Cadettes.There are so many other things the girls want to do - there's never enough time!.Our first Junior Journey took us a whole year to do!.I had several reasons for wanting to do this: After reading her post several times, I thought it was a great idea! Doing a Journey in a Day was not something I had thought about until I came across Jen's awesome post about her experience with this same Journey.
