The troop used cookie proceeds to buy and donate $500 of medical supplies to Migrant Health Service, an organization that provides HealthCare access to agricultural workers, many of whom speak Spanish. The donation was part of the group’s leadership journey, where girls discover, connect and take action in their community.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-11124" title="blog-journey-books" src="http://www.girlscoutsrv.org/wp-content/uploads/blog-journey-books.jpg" alt="Journey Books Update" width="195" height="161" />Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) regularly reviews the National Program Portfolio resources based on feedback and suggestions received. As a result of this process, minor revisions were recently made to one to two pages in the following seven books that are part of the National Leadership Journeys:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Agent of Change</em></li>
<li><em>aMAZE</em></li>
<li><em>aMUSE</em></li>
<li><em>BLISS: Live It! Give It!</em></li>
<li><em>GIRLtopia</em></li>
<li><em>Justice</em></li>
<li><em>MEdia</em></li>
</ul>
<p>If you, your troop or your service unit have any of these books in your possession, please update them with the revisions so that they are current. All books in the Girl Scout Shops will be updated prior to sale.</p>
<p>Replacement pages in English and Spanish are posted on the <a href="http://www.girlscouts.org/">GSUSA website</a>. Go to Program, select Journeys in the drop-down menu, click on the applicable Journeys series (e.g., <em>It’s Your World—Change It!</em>), then click on the applicable program grade level (e.g., Daisies).</p>
<p>On the right-hand side of the page, you’ll see a box titled Resources. If there are revisions for that particular program grade level Journey<em></em>book, they will be listed there as replacement pages in PDF format for download. You will also see links designed for printing on self-stick labels, if you prefer that method of replacement. Note that most of the books have no revisions; you will only find replacement pages/labels listed for the affected books.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Attention Leaders: Check out these useful tips for using Girl Scout journey books</h2>
<p>When thinking about opening a Girl Scout journey book for the first time, and maybe even the second time, there are a few useful tips to consider. Although these books have a lot of fun and exciting information and activities for Girl Scouts, troops, leaders, and even family members, navigating these resources can be daunting. Do not fear! These useful tips will help you have a wonderful experience guiding your Girl Scouts through a journey series.</p>
<h2>Tips to Consider:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Recognize and communicate the value of your activities. Journey books include the three keys to leadership: discover, connect, take action.
<ul>
<li>If you are doing a project such as decorating a T-shirt, it&#8217;s not just a craft – it’s a chance to <em>discover</em> a value you care about enough to put it on a T-shirt.</li>
<li>When you have a pizza party, it’s not just a pizza party – it’s a chance for girls to <em>connect</em> with new people, expand their social skills, and do some team-building, too!</li>
<li>Instead of taking action by learning the latest dance moves – it’s <em>take action</em> by starting a dance club to inspire younger girls to live healthy!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Yes, when you customize the journey, it should be based on the theme. As the girls plan, keep two things in mind: the intended leadership outcome and the theme. After looking at the theme of your journey book, invite the girls to think of activities that connect with the theme, or invite a subject matter expert to a meeting to further investigate the topic.</li>
<li>Invite other girls and leaders who have completed a journey to share with their success stories that brought the journeys to life.</li>
<li>See if your service unit has a document with field trip ideas in your area related to the journey themes; if one doesn’t exist – create it!</li>
<li>Check out the <a href="http://www.girlscouts.org/program/journeys/" target="_blank">GSUSA Journeys page</a> for ideas.</li>
</ol>
<p>Troop leaders want to know! If you have a tip for using the Girl Scout journey books, share it here.</p>
