​BREATHE series for Cadettes grades 6-8 
 
What is in the air we breathe? How do our actions affect it?
​How can I help make our teach people to make changes for a healthier environment?

In this 4-day virtual Breathe Journey workshop series, Girl Scout Cadettes will learn to examine the air around them, indoors, outdoors and even their own breathing!  Using their newfound awareness, they will make changes in their own lives to live a greener lifestyle. They will share what they learned by the creating a Take Action project plan that focuses on teaching others to make choices for a healthier planet.

Completing a Cadette Journey is a prerequisite  for the Silver  Award because they create a project following
​ the same steps, but on a smaller scale.  
All Workshops4girls Journeys are lead by experienced Girl Scout Highest Award experts (Bronze, Silver & Gold) . We emphasize building the skills that lead directly to successful and impactful Silver Awards.
By the end of our Breathe series, each Cadette will have a well-developed plan for a Take Action Project (to be carried out after the series ends). Your Cadettes will also leave equipped with knowledge and skills that will prepare them to create strong Silver Awards.
