BREATHE series for Cadettes grades 6-8 Click here for current schedule & registration deadlines.
Cadettes will earn the Aware and start on the Alert, and Affirm awards as they explore the air around them using their five senses while participating in activities involving aromatherapy, cooking, science, art & more. Completing a Cadette Journey is a prerequisite for the Silver award.
The final steps of the Award s are earned by completing a Take Action Project that will be completed after the workshop series. An essential component of a Take Action Project is that the girls take it out to the community. During the workshops, the girls will choose & work on their project and make a detailed plans for how to reach out to the community. You can pre-purchase awards from us for your convenience, but please hold on to the awards until the project is completed. The requirements will be explained in detail during the workshops. For more information about Take Action Projects, check out the drop down menu under the TAKE ACTION PROJECTS tab above.

If you look through the Breathe book you may be a little overwhelmed by the variety of material about the many aspects of air. Air pollution, noise pollution, wind power, recycling, anti-smoking, the list goes on.

The girls work in small groups to make an artistic summary of a section or two of the book. They share their art & what they learned with the whole group so by the end of the first day, all the girls have an idea of the topics covered.
