The Girl Scout Cadette Breathe Journey is one that the girls can learn a lot from. Here is a list of resources for them and for you, their leader, to use. *This post contains affiliate links. Updated February 2022 When I was growing up, there were public service announcements from Woodsy Owl that told us to Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute! In the 1970s, this was a crunchy granola way of thinking, as we were not as enlightened to the perils of air pollution like we are today. The quality of the air can have a direct effect on how we are feeling. As the mother of a son with asthma, air quality is very important to me. Image Created on Canva It isn't just pollution that affects the air we breathe. As a writer, I truly need absolute silence to get my mind in the zone and do my best work. When my kids are home, all hope of doing any research and writing original content just flies out the window. Fighting, having the television on, or having their friends over to play are much too distracting for me.People who have had careers where noise levels are too high risk having permanent damage to their ability to hear. Rock stars such as Phil Collins, Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton have all admitted to having hearing loss after playing their loud music on stage for years.In the Cadette Breathe Journey, girls will learn how the air around them impacts the Earth and their lives. Breathe Journey Guide for Leaders Photo from Pixabay Having internet resources is a good thing-I wish we had them back when I was a full time elementary school teacher back in the day! However, because I am also old school, I like to hold a book and have a hands on resource that I can pull of the shelf without having to turn on the computer.This adult leader guide for Breathe can be paid for with troop funds, since the girls are benefiting from it. Do not feel guilty asking for the money-after all, you volunteer many hours of your time for free! Girls Book from Amazon Adult Guide also available Other Kinds of Pollution In addition to noise pollution, your senses can also be assaulted by smell. If you have ever had to change a dirty diaper, you know what I mean! There are scents which are pleasing to the nose, while others are quite offensive.In fact, people with severe allergies can have significant breathing problems when they are near a person or a group of people who are heavily perfumed. My synagogue politely requests that during the High Holy Day services of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur that we refrain from wearing perfume because of this problem. There is a sign in my son’s allergist’s office to please not come into the office wearing perfume. Relax-It's Good for You! To make the Journeys Program more interesting and fun for the girls, each one includes activities to help the girls learn the objective of the meeting and the overall goals of the Journey. For one meeting, the troop can make something that they can take home to help them relax and find time in their busy day to have a few minutes of downtime. These kits come in handy for this project. Available on Amazon Girls Need to Breathe! Finding time to decompress from the stress When life becomes overwhelming with work, family, chores, and everything else, some people find it hard to breathe. The stress gives them anxiety, and they begin to breathe in a shallow manner. They cannot relax and this exacerbates the problem even further. Stress begets more stress! Bath Bomb Kit from Amazon Another aspect of the Breathe Girl Scout Journey is to teach the girls how to breathe-take a moment and relax. The middle school years present all kinds of challenges-more homework and projects, sports, and other activities become more competitive and time consuming, and relationships with peers and are also changing. On meeting can focus on having the girls find a time and place to just relax. Put on some relaxing music and do some breathing exercises or practice some simple yoga poses. Fun Craft Girls can find meaning and inspiration from these beads. They can make necklaces, keychains, or put them on a piece of cardboard that has been covered with felt and glue them on.

Are you the leader of a Cadette Girl Scout troop? Here are some resources for you to use as you guide your middle school girls through this level of scouting. Updated February 2022 *This post contains affiliate links. Cadette Leaders Need Practical Resources for Their Middle School Troop How many of you know a girl who was a Girl Scout past the fifth grade? If you are like most people, not many. When girls begin their adventures in Girl Scouting, they are as young as five years old and in kindergarten. Everything is exciting to them, and they are very happy with crafts, field trips and an occasional guest speaker. As the girls become Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts, it becomes more challenging keeping them engaged. They want more outdoor adventures like camping and fun overnights at museums and party places. As their leader, you do your best to comply with what they want while attempting to keep your own sanity. Photo from Pixabay By the time the girls finish the Junior level at the end of fifth grade, there is a dramatic drop in their ranks. As puberty hits full throttle and what other people think becomes more important, the coolness factor of scouting plummets and many girls no longer want to be associated with the movement. For my troop, this has not been our experience. I was the leader for six years, and this upcoming year I am stepping down from that role and moving to a co-leadership position. A friend of mine will be the leader, and ten of our eleven girls will become Cadette Girl Scouts. We are also very fortunate that the principal of our school is a former Girl Scout who earned her Gold Award years ago. She is a positive role model for our girls. The Challenges of Being a Cadette Leader Middle School Girls Are Not the Easiest to Be With! As a mother who has been through the middle school years once before, I can honestly say that I am not looking forward to replaying the drama of these early teen years. Relational aggression (female bullying), cliques, first heartbreaks, and monitoring social media use was challenging. Cadette leaders have to deal with all of this with girls who are not their daughters. Many times, a troop will inherit new girls at this stage because the girls' former troops have disbanded and are no longer viable. The girls wish to remain in scouting, but need someone to take them in. Leaders must be very aware of integrating new girls into their established troop and making sure that they are welcomed and accepted by the others. We are all sisters in scouting, and this is a great opportunity for new friends to be made. Cliques and leaving other girls out is not an acceptable behavior and needs to be thwarted. A Smart Girl's Guide: Middle School (Revised): Everything You Need to Know About Juggling More Homework, More Teachers, and More Friends! (Smart Girl's Guides) from Amazon This book, as well as the original version, has been a source of comfort and an invaluable resource for both of my daughters. The Biggest Challenge Facing Cadette Leaders There is competition for your time! Photo from Pixabay As girls get older, their lives get busier. Once upon a time,dance and athletics were a fun activity. Many girls, including those in my troop, participate on travel teams for sports or competition teams for dance. This means hours of travel and practice that will interfere with Girl Scout activities. In middle school, girls are introduced to after school clubs. These may bring new friends and new interests that will also occupy their time and lessen their involvement with Girl Scouting. Photo from Stoonn via freedigitalphotos.net Then there is homework. Modern society dictates that more homework is good, so teachers pile it on. For high achieving students, this extra workload can be a challenge, but for those who struggle in school, this creates more problems. Homework has to come first, even at the expense of a Girl Scout activity or meeting. Peer pressure is also a challenge. No matter how you slice it, Girl Scouts is not considered a cool activity. Adult leaders need to combat that with activities that the girls vote on and plan. When other middle schoolers find out that the scouts in their grade slept over in a museum, went on a long weekend to a water park resort or saved all their cookie money for a trip to Disney, then the cool factor is upped significantly. A Smart Girl's Guide: Friendship Troubles (Revised): Dealing with fights, being left out & the whole popularity thing (Smart Girl's Guides) from Amazon Online Resources for Cadette Leaders Starting at a new level is always a challenge. As the girls get older, meetings are supposed to be more "girl led", but with cliques, absences and forgetfulness, things might not get accomplished as they would with a responsible adult in charge. Of course, this is a life lesson that needs to be learned. As the leader, you are transferring the role of leadership to the girls. Here are some great resources on how to do that, as well as how to run your meetings, select badges and community service projects, plus how to do a Journey.

Over the years as a leader I have tried a number of different games using hula hoops. Hula hoops have been around for years and I have always had them around at my troop meetings. Hula hoop contest is a standard use for the hoop, keeping it on your waist as long as possible by wiggling your hips, but if you really explore what you can do with a hula hoop you would be surprised the uses. Before jumping into hula hoop ideas here are some other great games to play with your troop at your meetings. They are great ways to break up badge work and get your girls up and moving: 5 easy and fun cotton ball games 12 great games to play with a balloon 10 games to play with parachute We have taken hula hoops with us to our camp outs just to give the girls something to do during down time. For your next camp out or event purchase a few hula hoops and take this list of ideas with you and you won’t have to worry about down time with your girls. There are a few great hula hoop products out there that our awesome for traveling they are called snap and go hula hoops easier to pack for your next camping trip. Check it out here Hula Hoop Games Thread the needle The girls joined hands in a circle with a hula hoop hanging on one of the girls arm. The girls begin by passing the hoop around the circle without letting go of hands. By stepping through it and the girls continue around the whole circle until it returns back to the beginning. We had two teams running together and made it a challenge, first team won. The teams had different heights so they had to work together to get the hoop around. Hula Hoop Bubbles During one of our day camps we had girls make bubble wands and then we filled a kiddy pool full of bubbles, we used hula hoops to make giant bubbles. Pioneer Day Hula Hoop Game We used a hula hoop to represent the rolling of the hoops from the pioneer day. We explained how they used a stick to make it roll, but for safety we didn’t do that we just had the girls roll from one end of the hall and back. We form teams and the girls rolled down and back, this was hard to do because the hula hoop would get away from them. I would recommend to try to even have half the team on one end and other half on other end and just try to roll to the other person on the other end. Hula Hoop Obstacle Course Make an obstacle course using orange cones, table and hoops placing them so far apart, then we placed a full pail of water and a large solo cup in each hoop. The girls partnered up and one was blind folded then the girl that could see had to guide them through the course the girl had to guide the girl into each hoop but with other obstacles, around cones and under a table while working her way from hoop to hoop and when blind folded girl got into hoop she had to find the cup fill it with water and pore a cup of water onto her head and then move on to next hoop the fastest time won. We played twice so the girls could rotate places, the girls also had a spray of water hitting them while going through the maze. If it is not summer time or want to play indoors customize it so they don’t play with water maybe they have to draw a circle on a paper when they get into hoop or throw something into a bucket blindfolded. Hula Hoop Musical Chairs Hula hoops come in many sizes, this game we used small hula hoops it is similar to musical chairs except the hoops were called islands, we have a lot of girls so this worked great, the girls walked (swam) around the area (Ocean) when I shouted shark! Everyone had to get to an island, but as the game continued we took islands away so the girls had to share islands without touching the ocean. This continues until the last island, the idea is for the girls to work together and get everyone on the island, sometimes the one group did but others failed. We made sure if we had a lot of girls playing we made two areas for the game. Rule was no one could set on shoulders for safety. We have played this with a newspaper or anything you can take away if you do not have hula hoops. Hoop Off We gave each girl a chance to practice rolling a hula hoop, after they all got a chance to practice we had a roll off between two girls at a time. The girl that rolled hoop and it went the farthest got to be in the second roll off, this continued until last two girls are standing then we had a final roll off. Hula Hoop Rag Rug Craft (not a game but lots of fun) If you have old t-shirts have girls make their own rag rug using torn up t shirts and a hula hoop. The trick to this craft is not put the weaving to tight or it ends up looking like a hat when you take if off the hoop. You can find the directions online go family fun magazine, hula hoop rugs.
