Troop Leader Take Action Project Checklist

PROJECT QUALITY CHECK
  • Does this go beyond a community service to Take Action Project level?
  • Did they use smart planning to set measurable goals?
  • Effectiveness - Does the project bridge the gap between the root cause and their intended solution?
  • Is it age appropriate for their intended target audience?
  • Is their project feasible?
 
LEADERSHIP BUILDING

  • Does each girl have a clear role and voice within the project?
  • Does it challenge them by getting them out of their comfort zone?
  • Does it utilize each girl’s strengths?
  • Do they delegate some tasks rather than doing all the work themselves?
  • Can the girls clearly describe what they are planning using elevator speech?
 
EXPERTISE & SKILLS

  •  Did they do enough research to become knowledgeable about their issue?
  •  Did they consult with experts/agencies already working with their issue?
  • Use badges to build skills – public speaking, web design, etc.
 
TIME MANAGEMENT

  • Will this project work within the context of your troop and the girls schedule & lives?
  • Is the time line for the project realistic?  Start with the month they want to start on Silver (for Cadettes) or Gold (for Seniors) Award & work backwards.       
  •                
TROUBLESHOOTING
  • Do the girls seem excited by this project?  If not, have a discussion about changing directions
  • Need to start over or change directions? Utilize the book & the planning tools on my website.
  • Busy schedules - Make sure the girls have a good plan to work on projects remotely - do research online, post info into Google docs, share resources.
    Mixed troop groups – make sure other adults agree then share adult contact information.
  • Never finish? Only required if they want to do the Highest Award.  It is a good test of their commitment.  The Higher Award will be more work.
