You can learn more about Pilot 1 and 2 here: https://www.girlscoutssoaz.org/en/members/for-girl-scouts/gssoaz-programs/gs-adventures.html
Pilot 3 began Fall 2024 and combines the best parts of 1 and 2, for the best adVENTUREs program yet!
Pilot 3 (current version)
Adventurers (GS adVENTUREs Pilot 3 participants) are in for an exhilarating journey as they embark on a thrilling design sprint challenge!
A design sprint is a fun teamwork adventure where we use our imagination to make something cool! We brainstorm ideas, get feedback, pick the best ideas, plan how to make them, build them, and then share them with others!
In just 12 weeks, Adventurers will…
- Earn a level-appropriate entrepreneurship Girl Scouts badge and our council-exclusive GS adVENTUREs patch.
- Have the opportunity to go on two field trips: one to a local business or entrepreneurship-related event and the other to a makerspace where they will create their prototypes.
- Learn how to create a business canvas (a visual business plan).
- Prepare a pitch presentation to share their ideas.
- Meet and work with local mentors.
- Develop their Entrepreneurial Mindset and Design Thinking!
The GS adVENTUREs Pilot 3 program ends with Pitch It!, an innovation competition event. The teams pitch their ideas to a shark-tank-style panel of judges, sharing their progress and designs with friends and family for a chance to win prizes and awards!
The next round of programming will start in February 2025 and be the same as the Fall P3 version.
