Session+1

Session 1 - Girls Around the World
 * What did we do today?**

We started with the: Girl Scout Promise and Law The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people, and the Girl Scout Law outlines a way to act towards one another and the world. The Girl Scout Promise //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. The Girl Scout Law //I will do my best to be//

honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong, and

responsible for what I say and do,

//and to//

respect myself and others,

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">respect authority,

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">use resources wisely,

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">make the world a better place, and

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">be a sister to every Girl Scout.

**We Greeted Each Other with the Girl Scout handshake** A formal way of greeting other Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. You shake hands with the left hand and give the Girl Scout sign with your right hand.


 * We looked at page 7 and learned about the awards we can earn during this journey.**

We talked about all of the Girl Scouts around the world and looked at a map of the U.S. and the World.
 * The girls completed their personal passport information on page 5.**

The girls listened to the first 2 chapters of Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown and we talked about Flat Stacie, a Girl Scout Project. The girls created their own Flat Brownie Girls. *We will continue working on our Flat Brownies next session.


 * Not every kid can crawl into an envelope to learn about the world! So the girls will receive envelopes to mail out their Flat Brownies to their family and friends in different locations throughout the state, our country or the world. Each Girl Scout will receive 10 envelopes. *Parents can decide to send out the Girl 10 times and/or 5 times with 5 return envelopes. Please encourage the receivers of your Flat Brownie to send you or email you some pictures of your daughter's Flat Brownie so she can use them as story prompts. *I have addresses of people willing to host your Flat Brownies. Email me if you're interested.**

Girls Are Encouraged to Keep Journals About the Travels of their Flat Brownies: They can write stories about how their Brownie Girl Scout was flattened. They can take pictures with their Flat Brownie and write stories about their adventures together. Girls should write letters to the people they are sending their Flat Brownie to and then write about their Flat Brownie Girl's adventures on their trips. Girls will be encouraged to share these stories during our Brownie Meetings.

Here are some other parent tips from the Flat Stanley Website.

Girls were also provided with mini journals to document the stories in their lives that they would like to remember.
