LIFE SKILLS
Brownie Celebrating Community Badge Activity
Draw Your State’s Symbols
To explore symbols in your community.
Activity Details
Time needed: 30–45 minutes
Materials needed:
- Drawing paper
- Crayons or markers
Activity: A symbol is an object that means something special. For example, the American flag is a symbol of pride in our country. There are lots of other community symbols to find. Get ready to look!
Draw your state’s symbols. Each state has its own flag—and its own flower, bird, tree, and motto. With help from an adult, draw pictures of your state’s symbols and find out what your state’s motto means. Do you think the motto fits your state? For More FUN: Choose a flower, bird, tree, and motto for yourself! Tell a family member at home or call your Brownie friends to share why each is a good symbol for you.
Troop Leaders: The instructions for all badge steps are available free of charge in the Girl Scout Volunteer Toolkit.
Girl Scout Activity Zone activities have been adapted from existing Girl Scout programming.
Adapted from Step 2 of the Brownie Celebrating Community badge. Contact your troop leader or your local Girl Scout council to become a Girl Scout member and learn all the requirements needed to earn the badge.
