Take Action Award! Workshop for Juniors

Build Confidence by improving your community!
​
COMING IN 2027

Prepare for the Bronze Award while earning the new GSUSA Take Action Leadership Award. This series will build your confidence and strengthen your project-planning skills by using a badge as the starting point for taking action.* 
Upon completion of the Take Action Award workshop series, participants will have formulated a comprehensive plan for a Take Action Project, to be implemented independently following the series. Additionally, participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to undertake a impactful Bronze Award Take Action Project.

The Take Action Award is an excellent preparation for the Bronze Award proposal because it follows the same process on a smaller scale. This is the only new GSUSA Leadership Award that emphasizes identifying root causes and using them to shape your plan which is a crucial skill for Bronze Award project development. 
All Workshops4girls programs are facilitated by experienced Girl Scout Highest Award experts (Bronze, Silver, and Gold).
​The programs prioritize the development of skills that contribute directly to the achievement of impactful and successful Bronze Awards.​
*The Take Action Award begins with earning a badge of their choice.  If the Girl Scout has not completed the badge prior to the session, they will have to complete it before carrying out their Take Action Award Project. In the prework for this session, they will choose the badge.  Find a list of Junior badges here.

Take Action Award is a new program, but what do Juniors who completed other Virtual Workshops4girls programs have to say about their experience?

I will tell my friends that it was awesome and don't be scared. This was one of the best experiences I have had as a junior.
I learned how to work with people I don't know and have a good time doing it.
My favorite part was how I got to meet a bunch of new friends I didn't know before.
My favorite part was how it taught me to be brave and believe in myself.
Starting 5th grade was hard. I felt that I had no power. One thing that I have learned is that women can speak up. I learned to stand up for myself.
I liked learning about the guest speakers lives, I liked getting to know the girls and the leaders better, I liked planning my project with my friends, and writing stories!
