It’s Your Planet – Love It! The New Journey Books Are Available In
Your Girl Scout Stores!
In keeping with the theme of environmental stewardship, Girl Scouts
of the USA has published the next set of books in the Journeys
series: “It’s Your Planet - Love It,” now available at your local
Girl Scout Stores and
online.
Between Earth and Sky (Grades K-1)
WOW! (Grades 2-3)
Get Moving! (Grades 4-5)
Sow What? (Grades 9-10)
The Journeys series was introduced last year and is designed to encourage girls in kindergarten through twelfth grades to play an active part in planning and decision-making as part of the new Girl Scout Leadership Experience. A new theme is selected for each membership year.
The
“It’s Your Planet - Love It” collection takes on issues such as
preserving the world’s water supply, creating innovations in energy
usage, how our food network and choices impact the environment, and
even what it will take to bring about environmental justice in our
world.
In addition, the collection promotes healthy living, collaborative learning and an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers. Activities outlined in the books include outdoor adventures, hands-on science investigations, and opportunities to “meet” prominent women and girls who are at work around the world on behalf of the environment.
“We
talked to girls and asked them what issues are most important to
them and received an overwhelming response that protecting the
environment is a top priority for young people,” said Kathy
Cloninger, CEO, Girl Scouts of the USA.
“With
this new Journey, we saw an excellent opportunity to introduce girls
to a broad range of environmental concerns, while empowering them to
make an impact in their own communities.”
Launch your Journey at the Be an Eco-Hero: Serve to Preserve event Saturday, Sept. 26!
