Meeting #1: Creating a Vision Board

At our first meeting of the new season, the 30 members of Troop #3027 created their very own vision board!  "This is a strategy", said Miss Donna, "is a tool used by phenomenal women like Oprah Winfrey".  A vision board is a collage of images, pictures and affirmations of your dreams and all of the things that make you happy. It can also be called a dream board, treasure map or vision map. Vision boards can help you feel positive in reaching and accomplishing your goals.

With magazines, glue stick, a manilla folder and a pair of scissors, troop members were able to put their visions on paper.  Many girls cut out photographs of successful women, like First Lady Michelle Obama, Queen Latifah, Wendy Williams, Tia Mowry and Oprah Winfrey.  They also found pictures of fashionable clothes or creative hairstyles that they liked.  Elaysia, a 1st grade Daisy Girl Scout who loves recess, shared her vision board with her Girl Scout sisters!  "In the future, I want to drive and do my own hair", she said.  "I also want to be a writer".
