Is your Girl Scout troop ready to make a positive impact? Earning the Make the World a Better Place petal is a fantastic way to explore environmental awareness, community service, and acts of kindness. Here are five engaging activities to get your girls thinking, planning, and taking action!
If you're looking for ideas to make your meeting more fun while teaching your girls how to make the world a better place, you have come to the right place. Use some of these activities below to help your girls respect nature and teach them not to harm the environment by always picking up trash and never picking on someone for being different because being different is what makes us all special.
I recommend the following activities that will reinforce making the world a better place:
Below are a few ideas to get you started.
Do you want to skip all the planning? If so, use the Make the World a Better Place Activity booklet and take your girls on a garden adventure helping a family of fairies on a mission to teach the world how to live by very important values. Using the leader booklet and the girl’s activity booklet, your girls will complete lots of activities to help their fairy friends plant flowers and water gardens and learn how to put important values to live by into action. With step-by-step activities planned for you, all you have to do is gather the supplies listed; you can’t ask for an easier way to run your meeting.
Find out what your local area does to feed the needy, if they are a meals on wheels program see if girls can decorate the bags, or draw pictures to go along with the meals. Because being kind to others is a great way to make the world a better place.
Organize a pet food drive: Collect donations of pet food and supplies from your neighborhood. These donations can be brought to a local animal shelter to help the furry residents feel loved and cared for.
Make homemade dog toys: Get creative and use recycled materials to craft fun and engaging dog toys at a local shelter.
Engage your girls in learning about recycling with this free printable sorting game!
I found this on Amazon a while back and let me tell you its a great way to get your girls talking.
It has amazing scenarios to work through, plus there are many cards that will fit into any value you want to teach your girls. So make sure to pick out the ones you want for the specific value you are working on.
Girls can turn learning into a game and the girls will want to play it. You can play it like a card game using the 10 traits: Caring, Citizenship, Cooperation, Fairness, Forgiveness, Honesty, Relationships, Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.
The "Make the World a Better Place" petal goes beyond just earning a badge. It's about planting seeds of kindness, environmental responsibility, and leadership that will continue to grow with your Daisies as they embark on their Girl Scout journey. Here are 10 more ideas from Uthe se Resources Wisely Website.
Well of course give them the 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.
Editable certificates perfect for awarding girls after earning a badge.
You are going to love this cute adorable fun patch to put on the back of your girl’s vest. This goes with the Petal Fairy Program mentioned at the beginning of this post. You can buy each petal patch individually or as a complete set.
Remember, these are just a starting point! Tailor these activities to fit your troop's age group, interests, and available resources. The most important thing is to get your girls involved in making a positive difference in the world!
By participating in these activities, your Girl Scout troop will not only be working towards earning the "Make the World a Better Place" petal, but they will also be developing valuable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. So, get out there, explore, and make a difference together!
This activity program was designed to fulfill the requirements for all 10 Daisy Petals and Promise Center or can be used by frontier girl leaders to earn similar badges.
The petal fairy program will take your girls on a garden adventure with their new petal fairy friends who need your girls help to plant their flowers, water their gardens, and in return the petal fairies will help your girls learn how to live by the 10 fairy laws one activity at a time.
Enjoy every minute being a leader and continue to inspire your girls!
