Understanding the Girls

Remember when you were this age?

• What did you look like physically?• What was your school workload

like?• What was important to you?

Interpersonal Relationships

Conflict resolution Promoting “Sisterliness”

Sensitive Issues

Before exploring or engaging in discussion of sensitive or contemporary issues a parent permission form must be filled in and signed.

So…is your troop girl led?

• Girls take part in every step of the planning process

• Adults begin letting go of as many responsibilities as possible

• All of the adults on the team plan with the girls, not for them

• Delegating, especially to girls, may be an area of personal growth

• Focus on building skills
