As Guiders, we understand the profound impact outdoor experiences have on our girls. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a simple yet powerful activity: adventure journaling.
Inspired by REI’s “How to Make an Adventure Journal,” we’re diving into a creative way to enhance our outdoor adventures. With just a sheet of paper and some imagination, we can craft personalized journals to capture the essence of our experiences.
Why Adventure Journals Matter:
Mindfulness
Journals encourage girls to observe and reflect on nature, fostering a deeper connection to the world around them.
Connection
Sharing journal entries builds camaraderie among our group, creating bonds through shared experiences.
Reflection
Journaling promotes self-awareness and personal growth as girls express their thoughts and emotions.

Conclusion
Adventure journaling adds depth and meaning to our outdoor adventures with Girl Guides of Canada. Let’s embark on this journey together, empowering girls to connect with nature and each other one journal entry at a time.
Happy journaling!
