If your troop has only lived in the United States, it can be extremely helpful for them to learn about what life is like in other countries. There are so many beautiful aspects of other countries’ culture, like food, traditions, holidays, values, and more, and it is so fun to share these things with your troop.
I have resources about 18 different countries and I’m going to include all of the links for them below. Each one has information about that country’s geography, animals, system of government, economy, armed forces, language, religion, education, food, and recreation. I have a list below of every country I have a post for, followed by the activities I have inside the resource, besides the information listed above.
Besides country-specific resources, there are also 6 more resources below this list that you can use in your girl scouting to teach the young women in your service units everything they need to know about life in other countries. These awesome new experiences are a great way to help girl scouts of all ages learn about other countries in new ways.
There are a lot of other activities on my blog that aren’t specific to one country, if you’d like to cover more information at a time. These 6 activity sheets are alternatives that your girls will love!
Add them to your event calendar today:
If your Girl Scout troop members have experiences with other cultures, whether they’ve visited other countries, been a foreign exchange student, or grown up in families from other cultures, you can weave the amazing things they’ve experienced with these activities. I’d highly recommend letting your girls decide which countries they’re most interested in.
Another great idea is that if any of your scouts’ parents know more than you do about the food, culture, and activities from a specific country, you can invite them in to lead special events or meetings. This is an awesome way to create a tangible connection to their international learning, and help your girls feel excited and invested, while making sure you don’t get any of the information wrong. Part of the Girl Scout way is learning how other countries are making this a better world.
I hope you love using these resources with your troop! If you complete these activities, feel free to share pictures with me for the chance to be featured. I would love to see how you and your girls put their own spin on these activities and learn about the world together.
Enjoy every minute being a leader and continue to inspire your girls!
