The Girl Scout Law outlines the values that are important to all of us. We remind ourselves of these values every time we say recite them at meetings, but we also live them every day.
Make a post in the Purpose rally about a time you did something that showed a Girl Scout value. Make sure to respond to at least one other girl’s post too!
When setting goals, it is important to have a purpose (a goal) in mind. Did you set a goal before you started the season? If you did, how are you doing on reaching your goal? What do you need to adjust for booth sales to meet your goal? If you didn’t set a goal, set one now! If you need to change it update your goal on eBudde.
Each person has their own personal values, which are beliefs based on the combined experiences in our lives. Values are flexible and often evolve over time. People then choose other people, organizations, and careers that match their personal values. Do you know your personal values? Use the Personal Values for kids worksheet to reflect and discover your own values! You can find it in the Purpose rally on Rallyhood!
Take some time to reflect on what your vision for the future of the Girl Scout movement is by completing activities in the ‘Our Future’ section of the WAGGGS World Thinking Day badge.
