Sister to Every Girl Scout Not included:
For troop family portraits: Markers or crayons, posterboard or large paper. For fairy bread: Sandwich bread, rainbow nonpareil sprinkles, margarine or butter, butter knives, paper plates. Remember, you don’t have to do all the activities.
Intro:
Let’s make the Girl Scout sign and say the Girl Scout Promise together. Would anyone like to lead it? On my honor, I will try: To serve God* and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. *Members may substitute for the word God in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.
Icebreaker:
Have the girls say their name and tell about somewhere in the world they would like to travel someday!
Pick at least three of the following activities to complete to earn this petal! You can do these all in one meeting or over several meetings if you wish. Feel free to be creative, and modify or supplement these ideas with your own activities around the theme of being a sister to every Girl Scout.
Activity 1: Talk about it! Ask the girls:
e What does it mean to be a sister to every Girl Scout? e How can you treat the other members of your troop and other Girl Scouts like sisters? e Why is that important? Have the girls come up with a list of things they can do to help each other and be like sisters!
Activity 2: Play a team-building game! Trust obstacle course: Use balloons (included) to make an obstacle course that the girls have to walk around. Girls will take turns wearing the blindfold (included) while the other troop members give them verbal directions to help them navigate the course and get to the finish line without bumping the balloons! Make sure to rearrange the balloons between girls so the course changes.
