Connect with Others

How can Juliettes connect with others?
At first it might seem that independent girl scouts would lack opportunities to connect. Much of the curriculum is designed for team building, teamwork skills. Some girls are too independently minded and do not enjoy cooperative learning. Many like to dance to the beat of a different drum, and do not want more pressure to conform. However, there is much that these girls can get out of girl scouting, and by working on the activities you will find many ways to other ways for her to connect with others.

Immediate family - by working on projects with a parent, an independent girl scout can learn teamwork.

Extended family both near and far - There are lots of opportunites to share projects with and do good deeds grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins.

Neighbors - Lots of opportunities for good deeds!

Community Workers - The journeys and patches provide lots of opportunities to interview community workers.

Community Organizations -  While many of the Journeys emphasize original take action projects, girls can learn a lot by teaming up with organizations in their community and learning about the great projects that are already happening.

School/Religious School -  Juliettes can share their projects with children at school during sharing time. Many of the projects match the topics in the curriculum.

Other Girl Scouts - You can attend individual events and summer camps. Also, the Girl Scouts web page is a place for girls to learn about the movement, and it also has some interactive features.
