Girls need to have completed one Cadette Journey, be in 6th, 7th or 8th grade and be a registered Girl Scout. The Silver Award is the highest award a Cadette can earn in scouting. Working with Brownie Troop, Cadettes help them through each of their journeys. There are also new journeys and new badges to work on. Cadettes team up on projects with younger girls, senior citizens, or classmates to share their new friendship-building skills. As they continue on the MEdia Journey, they may re-write hurtful song lyrics, start a blog about movies, or use social media to combat stereotypes.ĪMAZE! Journey - Developing healthy relationships, navigating cliques, and moving beyond stereotypes are major themes in aMAZE! The Twists and Turns of Getting Along.
Media Journey – Taking a critical look at media from movies to music to TV, Cadettes learn how to reshape negative messages into positive ones. The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum usually offers a Cadette Breathe Journey Workshop in November/December. Cadettes can work together to complete their Breathe! Journey by planting an indoor garden, campaigning against smoking, or pushing for clean-air initiatives in their community.
These manuals will be posted when completed.Breathe!-A wind farm, an environmental scientist, or experiments using wind teach girls about the air we breathe.

Since our first seminar in November of 2008, we have educated approximately 85 girls per year through small seminars of 12-13 girls, and an occasional larger seminar. We adhered to requirements documented in the official Girl Scout Badge Book, and used ideas published on the International website by other 99s chapters. In 2008 we developed an Aerospace Badge program aimed at Junior Girl Scouts (5th and 6th grades). This is why the Dallas 99s love working with Girl Scouts.
Then imagine getting to meet a group of women pilots who open your eyes to the thrills and possibilities of working in a field relatively few women enter. Imagine being 10 years old with most of life ahead of you.
