aMAZE: The Twists
and Turns of Getting Along
Life is a maze of
relationships and this journey has Girl
Scout Cadettes maneuvering through all
its twists and turns to find true
friendships, plenty of confidence, and
maybe even peace. The adult guide offers
tips for talking about relationship
issues with girls, and pointers for
understanding Cadettes’ development and
creating a safe, welcoming space.
Journey
Awards
On this
amazing maze of a journey, each
passageway presents opportunities for
Cadettes to navigate personal
relationships in the best and most
productive ways. As girls twist and turn
through aMAZE, they gain tips and
strategies for creating healthy
relationships for themselves and those
around them and begin to build more
positive and peaceful relationships in
the world around them. Girls have the
option of earning one, two or three Girl
Scout awards, and they can work toward
them as one big team, as mini teams or
individually.

-
The Interact Award
signifies that
girls can advance peace in the world
around them—one interaction at a
time. To earn it, girls must
complete three of the nine Interact
Challenges—though they can do as
many challenges as they like! These
challenges invite the Cadettes to
try small—and positive—new ways of
interacting in their daily lives.
-
The Diplomat Award
focuses on how a diplomat
''possesses skill or tact in dealing
with others.'' To earn the award,
Cadettes demonstrate that they can
use something they have learned
about relationships to design and
implement a project that benefits
others.
- The Peacemaker Award
invites girls to collect
relationship ''tools'' they can use
and pass on to others along the
journey. The girls earn the
Peacemaker Award at the end of the
journey by reviewing all the tools
they've collected and making a
commitment about how they will
continue using them throughout their
lives.
Cadettes can take a
leadership role with
Brownies
LiA
(Leader in Action) Award
Girl Scout Cadettes have
an opportunity to put their
skills to work assisting
Girl Scout Brownies on their
Quest. Brownies (and their
volunteers!) will appreciate
having Cadettes along on the
journey, and Cadettes will
benefit from having the
opportunity to have a
position of responsibility.
The steps for Cadettes to
earn the LiA are in the
Adult Guide for ''Brownie
Quest'' and also
available online (PDF,
645KB). Your Girl Scout
council is a great resource
to identify Cadettes who
might be interested in
earning this award.
