Sustainable Happiness Together
Sustainable Happiness Together
Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies will be empowered to become their most confident, best selves and have a strong foundation for life with these interactive, self-paced mini-lessons. This program is designed for Girl Scout troops to self-guide through our 15-minute lessons per week over the course of 6 weeks. These hands-on, thought-provoking, self-reflection activities are a great way to start or end your troop meetings. Girls can then practice the skills between meetings. Girl Scouts will learn ways to foster: a growth mindset, more happiness, resilience, and ways to be calm every day. This course merges the butterfly life cycle with critical social emotional learning tools. Girl Scouts can have more fun with the included Be Present to Catch Happiness game. And the Daily Habits with the Bright Butterfly (a habit tracker included in the course) encourages them to have good habits for life. Most of the tools and techniques they will learn are backed by science and all of the information is delivered in engaging activities. If purchased, a Girl Scout parent will receive a discounted rate for the Girl Scout Families Lessons from the Bright Butterfly to reinforce what they’ve learned at home. Contact Liz Rutledge and Dr. Cyrina Bullard.
