I got to spend time with the Juniors this evening - very fun! But more challenging than the Older Girls. They are worried so much about hanging out with the "right" person.
We are trying to guide them to a girl-led take action project for the "Get Moving" Journey. With the Cadette, it was so easy - I explained what we were after, and off they went, brainstorming, discussing, and voting.
Not as easy with Juniors, although I know them learning this stuff now will make my life easier when they get older! We had to go over all the topics again, and then the girls kept coming up with projects that would be fun or creative, but they couldn't figure out how to share the project with other people, or how the project might help other people. But by the end of the meeting, they were starting to get it. They are all supposed to think about it before the next meeting, and come with an idea to share. But since next week is Easter break (no meeting) I will be mighty surprised if any of them remember. I will have to try to email them and remind them...
