Mission Sisterhood Journey for Seniors (9th-10th grade)
Taking Action for Mental Health
- Going into a new school can be scary especially if you are going into high school with students who are almost adults. When I was going into my freshman year of high school at a new school, I felt unconfident and vulnerable having to share a campus with kids old enough to drive! I created my Take Action Project to ease the nerves of students who may experience social anxiety starting at a new school. Some people even get social anxiety just from starting school, not even at a new school. On this website, you will find inspiring instagrams to follow, easy exercises to raise confidence, and uplifting quotes that will combat social anxiety! https://mianred.wixsite.com/mysite
- Part of my project was setting measurable goals. I'd love to know if my website helped. Please take a minute to fill out my pre and post surveys. Thanks!
Friendship obstacles: Insecurities & Lack of Empathy
|
|
Note: We started this project before the onset of COV-ID Restrictions but asked to be included on this page because now, more than ever, it is important to reach out to support your friends. Text or call a friend right now to say how much you appreciate them. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, even if we are too afraid to ask. We all may be going through hard times, but knowing someone cares can mean the world.
Description: Shelia, Emma, and Bridget are 3 normal best friends who go to high school together. They all have insecurities that none of them know about and struggle to feel comfortable in their own skin. In the end, will they come together as friends, or let their insecurities get the best of them? |
It All Starts With You
Recognizing Healthy Relationships - A website with program tools for Cadettes & leaders
|
Four Senior Girl Scouts, Rachael (Troop 913), Tran (Troop 2279) , Chloe (Troop 994), and Madison (Troop 1565), have created a website that focuses on the topics of bullying and relationships! The website focuses on informing Girl Scouts about the topics of bullying and all types of relationships and it can also be used as a meeting resource for Cadette Girl Scouts! The website teaches younger Girl Scouts how to identify toxic and healthy relationships and how to maintain them, and how to identify bullying and how to prevent it! These four Senior Girl Scouts created this website to ensure that these important topics were being addressed and to inform younger Girl Scouts about these two topics so they can be prepared for situations that they may come across. The target group for the website is Girl Scout Cadettes and Cadette leaders.

Girltopia Journey for Seniors (9th-10th grade)
Destigmatizing Homelessness in Orange County
The Girltopia Journey Take Action created by Megan Escobar, Madeline Klein, and Paityn Bowen, is geared to all people in Orange County. It serves as a directory, an educational piece, and a starter for conversation. Our goal is to combat our homelessness crisis by attacking the stigma around it. Our site includes petitions to sign, stories from collaborators, a list of homeless shelters in OC, and information about what to do when you see a homeless person. Feel free to read, learn, and share! https://flimwizard78.wixsite.com/destigmatizeoc
Media Journey for Cadettes (6-8th grade)
The Screen Time Initiative
Lauryn and Kaitlyn from Troop 2525 know when enough screen time is enough. But other kids their age don't. Learn about the impact of MEdia overuse and try new activities other than unproductive binge-watching and taking selfies to send to an endless amount of friends you barely know.

For my Media Journey Take Action Project I wanted to teach kids to think before they post on social media, because if you post without thinking, it may come back to bite you! Social media may say it's private, but as soon as you post it, it is out of your hands. Nothing posted is private. I hope after you view this you will be more careful about posting. Thanks for watching!
