Leadership in Action


LIA - a great piece to all three Cadette Journeys.  This is where the Cadette girls get to use leadership skills to teach their sister Brownies and participate in their Journey.

Each of the Cadette Journeys has a corresponding piece in the Brownie Journeys.  Now, while it would be great to have this info in each of the girl Journey books, it's not!  Your girls will probably need some adult/leader help sleuthing out the information.

Breathe Journey - pages 20 and 21 of the Adult Guide outline the requirements. The Cadette girls work with the Brownies as those little girls earn their WOW Journey patches.

Amaze Journey - well, you'll have to look in the Brownie Journey Adult Guide to find it! I'd give you page numbers, but I'm at work, and all I have are the older girl books!

Media Journey - page 9 of the Girl Journey book has a quick intro. pages 18 and 19 of the Adult Journey Guide has the requirements of how to earn this LIA working with a Brownie troop as they complete their A World of Girls Journey.

As your girls are moving through the Cadette program, they have the opportunity to take advantage of these built-in program pieces to use their leadership.  A great retention piece, as those little Brownies just LOVE the older girls coming in and helping. And the older girls just LOVE the positive attention!  A win-win all around. 

For the patch-happy, there's an LIA patch for each Journey to be earned!  And while we're not here to "decorate little girls" we are here to give them the opportunities to grow.  A patch is a small way to show their achievement!

Let the girls do it!
