As summer break approaches, now is a good time to introduce girls to the planning process of Girl Scout Activities.
Start by introducing the Preparing for Activities page in an age-appropriate manner and have girls vote on and plan at least one troop activity a month over the summer.
- Give earning badges and patches a fun flair – whether it’s taking a road trip along Route 66, exploring Kartchner Caverns, or visiting Riordan Mansion State Park.
- Explore our Council’s Own Patches and patches as summer fun options.
- Participate in the Get Outdoors Challenge and get your girls outside.
- Take
part in a Community Service Project – part of the Girl Scout
experience is giving back. Help girls consider taking part in a
community service project this summer. Either locally or nationally,
there are a plethora of options available. Here are just a few:
- Ronald McDonald House Patch Program – Girls feel connected to their communities by learning about the Ronald McDonald House and contributing to the House through tab collection and service projects.
- Arizona Humane Society Service Project – Girls can join us in this Council-wide service project by making homemade pet supplies that can be donated to the Arizona Humane Society.
- Have you seen our national mission to protect the planet from the effects of climate change? This is a great opportunity to talk to your girls about how they can make a difference in protecting our planet. If your girls are interested, show them how they can be a part of the Girl Scout Tree Promise - to plant, protect and honor 5 million trees by 2026! Make sure to consult the Safety Activity Checkpoints when planning this project!
- Spirit Untamed: Start making your own wildest dreams
come true with Girl Scouts’ and Dreamworks Animation's Spirit Untamed Activity Book (PDF). Alongside
your favorite characters from the movie, you’ll go on a scavenger
hunt, unleash your creativity, and more.
- After completing the activities in the book, head to the Girl Scout Shop to get a free, limited-edition Spirit Untamed fun patch! Simply use the code SPIRIT at checkout to claim yours. *Limited supply available, based on first-come, first-served basis.
