My Family Star

During your Brownie’s first adventure on the Brownie Quest, she discovered some of the talents and qualities that make her special.  Be sure to ask her how she describes herself.

Before our meeting on 10/18, she has an important job to do, and she needs your help!

Read the questions on the accompanying activity sheet and discuss them with your Brownie.  You can talk about a value of the Girl Scout Law that is especially important in your family.  Ask her to share specific examples of what it means to act on each of the values described in the Law.

Your Brownie can fill in the family star on page 51 of her Quest book, or fill in, cut out, and decorate the enclosed star.  Better yet, create a unique family star of your own using a paper plate, cardboard, aluminum foil, glitter, stickers, or whatever craft materials you have on hand.  If you are feeling especially ambitious, you could even try to create a 3-D star using the template posted earlier this week.

If you have time, ask your Brownie to read and discuss Chapter 1 of “The ELF Adventure” (page 10 - 15 of her Quest book) with you.  

Making a Family Star

Read the Girl Scout Law with your family

I will do my best to be
honest & fair,
friendly & helpful,
considerate & caring,
courageous & strong, and
responsible for what I say & do,
and to
respect myself & others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

•   What line from the Law is most important in your family?
•   Why?
•   Write your family’s favorite line and the reason it is your favorite in the center of your star.
•   An example could be COURAGEOUS  Sometimes it is hard to do what you know is right - that’s why being courageous is so important!
•   Who is in your family (mother, father, grandfather, aunt, sisters, brothers)?  Write their names in the points of your star.
•   What special quality or skill do your family members have?  Write those under their names.
•   After you fill in your star, decorate it if you want to.  Add colors, stickers, glitter, or whatever else you have handy and bring it to your next Brownie meeting to share with your Girl Scout sisters!
