About the first Girl Scout Senior
Journey:
Girl Topia—Toward
an Ideal World for Girls
It's Your
World—Change It!
Introducing the First Series of Journeys
GIRLtopia
Girl Scout Seniors
know the world is not ideal. This
journey is their chance to imagine a
perfect world—for girls. They’re invited
to create their vision as an art
project—in any medium they choose. Then
they’ll take action to make their vision
a reality. Leaders, after all, are
visionaries!
Journey
Awards
GIRLtopia
invites girls to consider how the world
is far from perfect for girls around the
world. As girls take in this reality,
they are invited to envision an ideal
world—a society that consistently
respects their needs, values and
interests. In GIRLtopia, girls have the
option of earning a major award, an
important step on the Girl Scout
leadership ladder:
-
The Senior
Visionary Award
– To earn the
award, girls complete 3 steps:
Create It –
an artistic representation
of an ideal world to share with
others; Guide It –
lead a discussion or group
activity that engages other girls in
thinking about visionary leadership;
and Change It –
complete a Take Action
Project that moves the world (or a
community) one step closer to ideal.
