Girls are being exposed to ideas and discussions on the environment every day and every where. Girl Scouts journeys are packed with the latest research and girl-relevant environmental thinking and offer adults a way to interact with girls on topics of great importance in their lives. In this journey series, girls at each grade level have an opportunity to learn about grade-appropriate environmental issues such as clean water and air, noise pollution, global warming, soil contamination, and agricultural processes.

Daisies - Between Earth and Sky

Girl Scout Daisies join their flower friends for a cross-country road trip in their special flower-powered car!  As they travel the country living the values of the Girl Scout Law, the flowers explore the natural world around them, learning what's local and why that's important.  Along the way, the flower friends (and the girls!) sample the sights, and the wisdom of women working to protect Planet Earth.  Daisies earn their Blue Bucket, Firefly, and Clover (uses resources wisely!) awards as they experience what's great about their own region and learn to use their own special skills to help people and Planet Earth.

Brownies - WOW! Wonders of Water

The Brownie friends and Brownie ELF enjoy some wonder-filled adventures as they invite the real-life Brownies to explore the Wonders of Water.  As they dive in, the Brownies realize they can create another big WOW as they try out new Ways of Working as a team.  Brownies learn about the water cycle through a "Green Tea for the Blue Planet," and enjoy making their own rainbows as they explore the precious resource of water.  Brownies pledge to LOVE water by protecting it, then team up to advocate for other people to SAVE water, too. As they SHARE what they have learned, they find they can inspire even more people to protect Earth's water.  Along the way, Brownies experience what it is like to live in places where there is not enough water. They come to understand why the right to clean water is so important to everyone on Earth.

Juniors - Get Moving!

Juniors build their skills as leaders who Energize, Investigate, and Innovate.  Juniors have a new comic story, "Vamos Ya!" to inspire their action (walking school bus anyone?)  Dez, the fashionista spider, is also back to add some wit to the journey as she tries to figure out life "off the grid." "How does this carbon footprint thing work?" she asks. "Do I get eight?"  From their own paper-making experiment to making beads from newspapers and magazines to forming a "perpetual human motion machine," Juniors will find that GET MOVING! is crammed full of energizing stuff to make and do!

Cadettes - Breathe

Cadettes engage all five senses as they clear the air—their own and Earth's.  Girls learn to assess air quality inside and out, getting an aerial view of everything from cigarette smoking to noise in the air to deforestation.  Along the way, they try some scientific experiments (that could even double as magic tricks to share with Brownies).  As they enjoy creating some "breathing room" in their lives, Cadettes may also find a new flair, think about "Hair," and perhaps even try making an éclair.  After becoming more Aware, the girls go on to Alert others to act for air, and then Affirm their impact on Earth, as they add these three uplifting leadership awards to their collection of Girl Scout honors.

Seniors - Sow What?

Seniors investigate the food network (no not cable TV—the real one that gets each piece of food to the table).  As they ponder the dirt on land use around the world (corn's a big issue!), girls get down to the science and roots of complex and global food issues.  Girls plan and conduct a local "food forage" to scope out their "food print" choices, and talk to scientists, local growers, and business owners—and even global hunger experts.  Using what they learn, girls consider their "leader prints" as they decide who and what they can cultivate en route to a Take Action Project that positively impacts their food network.  Along the way, Seniors take time to enjoy a "truly happy meal" together, experiment with new recipes, and try out being "locavores" who know how to savor local bounty.  So what about career choices and networking? Sew what about sewing? Seniors have a chance to try these on, too!

Ambassadors - Justice

Justice—for Earth and all its inhabitants—we all know what it is. Why is it so hard to achieve?  Ambassadors realize that maybe justice needs a brand-new equation—their equation.  By "Doing the Math" with even the simplest of acts, deciphering how decisions get made, and exploring how to use scientific evidence, Ambassadors will create and then present their own unique equation for what justice asks of us.  Along the way, they will find they are also networking and gathering new ideas for college and careers.  Ambassadors can also take some time out to Nest and Soar as they ponder new inspirations from birds around the world.
