Setting Goals For Walking or climbing stairs

Did you know that setting goals will help keep you motivated to achieve what you set out to accomplish. One idea is to think about a walking goal compared to how many steps or stairs it takes to do something.

For example

  • Inside the Statue of Liberty, you can explore the museum in the pedestal and then begin the climb to the crown. The climb itself is 354 steps can you make that your goal?
  • The Eiffel Tower has 108 stories, with 1,710 steps. can you make that your goal?
  • There are 898 steps to the top of the Washington Monument. can you make that your goal?

"Practice with purpose, and watch your potential unfold."

Warm up and Cool Down Workout

Here is a warm up and/or cool down video to do before and after any workout. It is perfect for your girls.

Skill-Building Scavenger Hunt

Create a scavenger hunt that incorporates different skill-building tasks related to their chosen activity. For example, if they're learning to play a musical instrument, hide sheet music or note cards around the area. As girls find each item, they can practice that particular skill before moving on to the next clue.


Goal Setting Olympics

Organize a mini Olympics-style event where girls can set personal goals in various activities such as running, jumping, throwing, or even dancing. Each girl can create a goal card specifying what they want to achieve, and they can track their progress throughout the event. Award certificates or badges to celebrate their achievements.


Remember, the Practice With Purpose badge is all about setting goals, staying motivated, and continuously improving. These activities will not only help girls develop their skills but also instill a sense of discipline, dedication, and perseverance. Let the journey to success begin!

What do we do after your girls complete the activities?

Well of course give them the Practice with Purpose badge to display proudly on their vest, they earned it! Additionally If you are like many leaders we want to award our girls when they complete something even beyond just the patch. One great way to show achievement is with a certificate. Don’t worry you don’t have to make them, I found a resource that has done all the work for you and all you have to do is print them and customize the certificates with each girl’s name, badge or award earned, date, and troop leader.
