When times were tough, Girl Scouts stepped up.
Travel back to the 1930s and 1940s, a time when Girl Scouts grew victory gardens, led supply drives, and showed up for their communities during the Great Depression and World War II. In this immersive, hands-on experience, Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors will discover the strength and service that defined a generation of Girl Scouts-and how those same values still matter today.
Through crafts, storytelling, and role-play, Girl Scouts will step into the shoes of Scouts from the past, explore what it means to lead with courage, and reflect on how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Badge in a Box is a fun self-guided rental experience where Girl Scouts can engage in Girl Scout Pillar activities on their own or with their troop using council-provided materials. Each box includes everything needed to complete a full program!
🎖 Badge Alignment:
Daisies will earn the Courageous and Strong petal
Brownies will earn the Celebrating Community badge
Juniors will earn the Playing the Past badge
All participants will also receive the Girl Scout Museum
Patch for traveling through time with purpose!
Time Travelers Will:

Create & Contribute - Craft wartime posters, troop flags, or "helping hands" projects that reflect how Girl Scouts made a difference.
Act & Reflect - Step into character as a 1940s Girl Scout, using storytelling and role-play to bring history to life-and explore what it means to be courageous today.
