Coming Soon: New Journeys for G.I.R.L.s

How will you take the lead like a Girl Scout in the 2017-18 Girl Scout year? New Journeys for G.I.R.L.s (go-getters, innovators, risk-takers, leaders) of all ages can help you do just that– all while making your world a better place!

Girl Scouts of the USA will roll out seven new Journeys in the Volunteer Toolkit (in MyGS) in July 2017. Each Journey (whether new or old) is topic-specific, includes hands-on activities and incorporates Discover, Connect and a Take Action project.
