Making Some Small Changes to the Service
04/08/17–04/11/17
After speaking with Stacie Rohrbach and learning about what goes into creating a Girl Scout badge we knew that we needed to make some changes to our service.
We started off by minimizing our program from four badges into one badge. Stacie let us know that most troops only work on about three to five badges in a year so multiple badges within one service would have to span multiple years which we felt was too long/drawn out.
Once we had narrowed we began restructuring our Service Blueprint in order to match the new singular badge service.
We went with the theme of “taking care of body/health” that was focused on three main areas:
- Awareness
- Self Management
- Ownership
In order to complete and receive the badge a girl scout must finish five sections that have three activities each. They only need to complete one of the three activities per section.
Our next step was to create some different activities and define the sections. Here are a few examples:
- Learn about allergies by finding flowers and rubbing the stamen to see the pollen. Help understand that when there are lots of flowers there is also a lot of pollen (in the air).
- Going to a science museum and seeing an exhibit about the body/lungs (ex: BodyWorks at the Carnegie Science Center).
- Take a yoga class, afterwards write down or draw which positions were harder, and how your breathing changed throughout the class
