What are Journeys?
Journeys are the new GSUSA Girl Scout program curriculum that focuses our work with girls more intentionally on Leadership Development. Journeys do this by giving us guidelines for engaging girls in an 8-to-10 session “Journey” that puts the Girl Scout Leadership Experience into action. That means, by doing Journeys, girls Discover their values, Connect with others, and Take Action to make the world a better place. They also have fun along the way!
Why Journeys?
As we approach Girl Scout’s 100th anniversary (in 2012), GSUSA’s goal is for us all to be working together to deliver a Nationally Consistent Leadership Experience for Girls. We achieve this goal by using Journeys as our core program curriculum, along with badge activities, events, and our great traditions to continue to provide a unique and richly-diverse girl-only experience.
Journeys are beautiful and contain some amazing activity content and a plethora of leadership tips. You will quickly see how they guide us in delivering the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. With Journeys at the core, we know that we are on track to achieve our long-term mission to Build Girls of Courage, Confidence, and Character who Make the World a Better Place.

Journey Summaries
These high-level summaries might be useful as you work with your girls and fellow adult volunteers to decide which journey adventure to take prior to making your purchases. Keep in mind that they provide only a brief overview of the full potential in each journey, and that if you have the chance to get your hands on the journey adult and girl books themselves to review, that's way better!
