In this Journey, you will:

1. Explore media and find out how to reshape negative media messages into more positive ones—invite a TV show producer to talk about what influences her work, organize a movie night and discuss the film’s messages, or write a rap song or TV script.
2. Plan a Take Action Project that encourages positive messages in media—rewrite a song that has hurtful lyrics about women, create a blog that reviews how movies and TV shows depict girls, or start a Twitter campaign responding to stereotypes you see in the media.
3. Earn 3 awards: Monitor Award, Influence Award, and Cultivate Award. If you're a Girl Scout volunteer, go to Volunteer Toolkit for complete meeting plans and activity instructions.

Girl Scout Journey Award Set is iron-on embroidered with three diamond shaped appliques with the words "Monitor," "Influence," "Cultivate." Imported.

Updates are on the horizon.

Journeys will officially be retired on October 1, 2026, and in their place, we are launching fresh Leadership Awards to celebrate all the ways girls lead—themselves, their teams, and their communities. With flexible options, real-world skill-building, and no pressure to lead a certain way, these awards help Girl Scouts grow confidence, explore their leadership style, and make an impact on their own terms. Each award is represented by a beautiful new pin that captures the spirit of an awardee’s leadership exploration path.
