MISSED IT LAST TIME?

Our Troop Journey:  It's Your Story - Tell It!
The Troop, as a whole, selected our Journey for the year.  We will be working on "It's Your Story - Tell It!"  Please purchase the Journey book for your daughter.  Daisies will utilize the "5 Flowers, 4 Stories & 3 Animals" Journey Book, Brownies will need the "World of Girls" Journey Book, and Juniors will require the "aMuse" Journey Book.


The It's Your Story – Tell It! Leadership Journey series gives girls the opportunity to tell their stories through a range of creative approaches. Self-esteem is a natural by-product of this Journey series because through storytelling and creative expression girls gain a deep understanding of themselves and their potential, and develop confidence to become leaders in their own lives and in the world.
