Enchanted Forest Adventure: Journey V

November – Make the World a Better Place / Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout
Featured Princesses: Rapunzel & Ariel

1340 McConnell Dr, Decatur, GA 30033

This culminating Enchanted Forest Adventure brings five months of discovery to a joyful close. Participants will reflect on lessons of creativity, stewardship, and friendship while learning how small acts can create big ripples for the planet. Inspired by Rapunzel’s renewal and Ariel’s care for the sea, we’ll explore how imagination and action work hand-in-hand to make the world a better place.

Wear comfortable footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather. Bring a refillable water bottle and a clean, smooth recycled glass jar (such as a Oui Yogurt container) for the decoupage and paint activity. The jar project will be a personal keepsake. For the Repurpose with Purpose leather friendship bracelets, participants will use their creativity to make two: one to gift to another participant in the room and one to donate to the Makers Market at next year’s Forest Fashion Show & Festival.

Designed for current Girl Scouts, those interested in becoming one, and girls of all ages who embody this spirit. All participants should attend with adult supervision.

We’ll begin with a storywalking session connecting Rapunzel’s creativity and Ariel’s curiosity to real-world environmental stewardship. Afterward, we will share a brief mindfulness resetting moment to center our intentions and ground ourselves in community. Participants will then craft Repurpose with Purpose friendship bracelets from reclaimed SWA leather, create recycled-jar art celebrating renewal, and close with a shared snack-circle affirming our collective pledge to protect the planet and one another.

Minimal – activities will be primarily held indoors with short outdoor components.
