One of the best things about Girl Scouts is that it’s girl-led, which means girls have a lot of decisions to make, both as an individual and as a group.
Common decisions troops need to make:
- Which badges, patches, awards or journeys to earn
- What to do for a Take Action Project, or a Girl Scout Bronze/Silver Award project
- How to spend troop funds
- How high to set troop goals during the Cookie program
How to decide
- Majority Rule/Voting
- Consensus Building (a.k.a. Stacie’s favorite)
- Divide and Enjoy
Checkout our downloadable Consensus Building Worksheet. Write in your troop’s options and photocopy for each girl, or print it big and decide together.
