A World of Girls is the It's Your Story- Tell It! Series journey for Brownies.

Here is what GSUSA says about A World of Girls


Stories are all around us – in movies, in books, in television shows, advertisements, on the news and even on cereal boxes. Stories inspire. Stories motivate. Stories spark imagination and help girls learn about themselves and the world.

A World of Girls helps engage Brownies in this wider world or stories in a way that gets them looking for clues to help make the world a better place.

With some help from Brownie Elf along the way, girls see how they can create positive change in the world—change that affects girls.

Leadership Awards

  • Hear a Story Award - Brownies see that stories hold clues for how to better the world
  • Change a Story Award - Brownies realize they have the power to change things for the better for girls in the world
  • Tell a Story Award - Brownies have the confidence and knowledge to educate and inspire others
  • Better World for Girls! Award - Brownies understand they belong to a large and far-reaching world of girls

Girltopia is the It's Your World-Change It! Series journey for Seniors.

Here is what GSUSA says about Girltopia


Girl Scout Seniors know the world is not ideal. This journey is their chance to imagine a perfect world—for girls. They’re invited to create their vision as an art project—in any medium they choose. Then they’ll take action to make their vision a reality. Leaders, after all, are visionaries!


Journey Awards
GIRLtopia invites girls to consider how the world is far from perfect for girls around the world. As girls take in this reality, they are invited to envision an ideal world—a society that consistently respects their needs, values and interests. In GIRLtopia, girls have the option of earning a major award, an important step on the Girl Scout leadership ladder:

The Senior Visionary Award – To earn the award, girls complete 3 steps:

  • Create It – an artistic representation of an ideal world to share with others;
  • Guide It – lead a discussion or group activity that engages other girls in thinking about visionary leadership; and
  • Change It – complete a Take Action Project that moves the world (or a community) one step closer to ideal.

Cadette: Breathe

Breathe is the It's Your Planet-Love It! Series journey for Cadettes.

Here is what GSUSA says about Breathe
  • Cadettes engage all five senses as they clear the air—their own and Earth's.
  • Girls learn to assess air quality inside and out, getting an aerial view of everything from cigarette smoking to noise in the air to deforestation.
  • Along the way, they try some scientific experiments (that could even double as magic tricks to share with Brownies).
  • As they enjoy creating some "breathing room" in their lives, Cadettes may also find a new flair, think about "Hair," and perhaps even try making an éclair.
  • After becoming more Aware, the girls go on to Alert others to act for air, and then Affirm their impact on Earth, as they add these three uplifting leadership awards to their collection of Girl Scout honors.
Journey Awards
Along this journey, Cadettes have the opportunity to earn three leadership awards that engage them in improving the world's air quality while also supporting and nourishing their own abilities as leaders who are aware, alert, and able to affirm all they do.

Aware
  • Keep an Air Log throughout the journey.
  • Identify two experts who can guide you to greater air awareness.
  • Increase your AWAREness about the issues that impact Earth's air.
  • Decide the most important, personal reason you care about Earth's air.
  • With your Cadette team, choose an air issue to act on together.
Alert
  • Decide whom to educate and inspire—this is your Air Care Team (ACT)!
  • Decide what you will ask your Air Care Team to do.
  • Decide how to reach your Air Care Team to inspire them to act on your air issue.
  • Educate and inspire! Give your ACT its call to action.
Affirm
  • Gather proof of progress or improvement through your efforts to educate and inspire.
  • Share the impact with your ACT and maybe even go further.
  • Get with your Cadette team and reflect on your efforts and their impact.
  • Affirm your commitment to strive to be an heir apparent of air and all of Planet Earth's elements.

Earning the LiA
Girl Scouts has always had a tradition of older girls helping younger girls. In the It's Your Planet—Love It series of leadership journeys, Cadettes have air and Brownies have water. 
Think of the power of bringing these two grade levels and all their Girl Scout power together! That's what the LiA (Leader in Action) Award is all about. The LiA encourages Cadettes to be key assistants on a Brownie team's WOW! Wonders of Water journey. All the steps to the award are in the Cadette LiA letter found in the Adult Guide for both the Cadette and Brownie journey.
