The Journey series are completely different from when I was a Girl Scout. They now pursue a "path" to take and can customize the set of patches that they work toward. When I was a kid, I simply worked on whichever patches that the leader chose. There is also much more of a focus on it being led by the girls. My mom led my troop when I was a kid, and I definitely felt like we were guests of her troop.
In the second class, I realized how informal my troop had been as a kid. The only song that I knew was Make New Friends. I learned many songs there, including: Girl Scouts Together, Fred the Moose, The Water Cycle Song, and Hello.
I was also not familiar with any of the ceremonies, except for the ones that are also practiced by Cub Scouts. I learned a lot, but I was also kinda disappointed with how little I learned as a Girl Scout. I am very glad that I am continuing my "education" to provide the best scouting experience possible to my daughter and her troop when we get it started this fall.
Thanks for reading!
