Stand Up for Others Virtual Meeting

Hi everyone,

In light of recent events in the United States, I've decided to put together a meeting plan on diversity and standing up for others. I have been given a great opportunity through Guiding to teach my Brownies about the world around them, and sometimes that means having honest conversations, in an age-appropriate way, of course.

Our meetings usually run for about an hour, but you can make it longer or shorter as needed.

Time ActivitySupplies
7 pmWelcome, opening 
7:05 pmStand With Me
Theme: Your Voice
PA: Take Action
This activity could be modified for a virtual meeting by having the Brownies raise their hand instead or stepping forwards. To make it a bit more meaningful, I would ask them to name something that they are worried about. This can show them that other Brownies are worried about the same thing, and they know how it feels to have someone on their side.

7: 15 pmPlate Portraits
Theme: Different Together
PA: Explore Identities
This activity could be done with any paper, it doesn't have to be a paper plate. I think that the message that this activity illustrates is especially important: don't judge people based only on what you can see.

Theme: Your Voice
PA: Take Action
For this activity I would use breakout rooms, to make sure that everyone has a chance to speak. It would also be good to have at least one Guider or Girl Assistant in each group to lead the discussion. The Guider/GA could share their screen with the cards on it. Once each group is done, come together as a big group and have each group share what they did.

Girl Guide Colouring Pages

 Here are some colouring pages that I made based on the new GGC clipart. There are four different designs, all in one file for easy downloading.  GGC Colouring Pages Disclaimer: The images that these are based off are owned by Girl Guides of Canada, I just traced them to turn them into colouring pages for personal/Unit use.

Promise Posters

 With Brownies being renamed to Embers, I anticipate that a lot of Ember Units will be looking for new resources with the new promise, law, and branch name. I've made these promise posters, which would make a great aid for teaching the promise, law and motto. I made one for each branch, in English and French. The font size is quite large, so they can be printed as a full page, or multiple per page to be a more convenient size.

About Me

Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth, and I've been a member of Girl Guides of Canada for 13 years. I started in Brownies (now called Embers) and went all the way to Rangers, as well as volunteering as a Girl Assistant with an Ember Unit for six years. I am currently in Link, as well as volunteering as a Brand Ambassador. I created this blog to share all the resources and meeting plans I made for online meetings while we could not meet in-person due to Covid-19. I am not currently a Guider, but I do still update this blog occasionally when I think of something new. I am currently in university, and I hope to become a Guider once I've got some more free time. If you'd like to see more from me, check out my TikTok . Quick disclaimer: This is my personal blog. It is not an official Girl Guides of Canada source.
