How can Girl Scouts get to know their story in the context of 'Girl Scout Know Your Story'?

It could mean that Girl Scouts are encouraged to understand their own personal stories. Every Girl Scout has a unique journey within the organization, filled with experiences like camping, community service, and learning new skills. Knowing their story might involve reflecting on how they've grown, the friendships they've made, and the challenges they've overcome.

Well, usually Girl Scouts start by coming up with an idea for the story. Maybe it's based on something they experienced or something they imagine could happen.

By being active participants. They can take initiative in various Girl Scout activities. For instance, if there's a leadership training opportunity, they can fully engage and make it part of their story of growth as a leader.

Be genuine and interesting. Share something unique or funny that catches her attention.

Definitely. There are stories of Girl Scouts achieving their badges through various activities such as learning first aid, cooking outdoors, or learning about different cultures. These stories are inspiring and show the growth and development of the girls in a positive and ethical way.

It has increased their sales reach. They can now target a wider audience.

Well, my family has always been very supportive of my Brownie Girl Scout journey. My mom was the one who first signed me up. She thought it would be a great way for me to make friends and learn new skills. I remember going on camping trips with the troop, and my dad would always help me pack my camping gear. He made sure I had everything I needed. My sister, who was a bit older, would sometimes come along as a volunteer. Those times were really special as it was like a family - troop bonding experience.

In my view, 'Girl Scout It's Your Story' is a call to action for Girl Scouts to own their experiences. Girl Scouts engage in a variety of activities like camping, selling cookies, and learning new crafts. All these activities contribute to their personal story. They get to decide how they want to remember and share these experiences, which is really empowering for them.

Some troops also accept referrals directly. So if you know someone who is involved with the Girl Scouts, either as a leader or a member, they can refer you. After the application is submitted and accepted, the new member will usually be introduced to the troop and start participating in the activities according to the troop's schedule.

Think about the people who influenced you in Girl Scouts. Maybe it was your troop leader. Start your story by introducing that person and how they inspired you to be a better scout, and how they contributed to your overall Girl Scouts experience.
