Brownie Legacy Badge: Girl Scout Way

Girl Scouts of the USA is turning 100 this month. Celebrate this moment in time by learning special Brownie traditions that girls have been sharing for 100 years! Do you know the story of the Brownie Elf? Do you know the Brownie Smile Song? Learn all this and more when you earn your Girl Scout Way badge.

The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting can help you explore Brownie Girl Scout Ways by following these 5 steps:

1. Sing everywhere
2. Celebrate Juliette Low's birthday
3. Share sisterhood
4. Leave a place better than you found it
5. Enjoy Girl Scout traditions

Each step of the way you need to complete one of three activities. When you have earned this badge, you'll know how to practice and share the Girl Scout way. Get started on your Girl Scout Way badge today - refer to your Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting for complete instructions and activities.

Congratulations to Troop 138 in Henderson, Nevada! This group of Daisies, Brownies and Juniors won Girl Scouts of the USA's Girls Speak Out contest! They created a PSA on the theme: "What do you want the next 100 years to be like for girls?"

What was Troop 138's answer? Here's a hint: It's so bright, it makes them want to dance. Take a look.  

Girl Scout Troop 138 also became stars this weekend as they starred in the professional version of their winning PSA for Girl Scouts of the USA. To see more photos from the shoot visit our Facebook page. 

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! 

The Girls Speak Out! contest gives you a chance to make your own PSA. If you're the top vote getter, your idea will be made into Girl Scouts' next PSA, professionally produced and all!

The new theme is "we only have one planet". Make a PSA that asks others to go "green." Entries are due April 30, 2012. Voting closes May 15, 2012.
