Some ideas to get you started are....
- Have the girls make a list of things they need and things they want. Review the difference between the two with them and discuss it.
- Have the group talk about a goal they'd like to to achieve together. For example, if the girls want to take a trip or see a movie together, set that as a goal if the group agrees on it. Other ideas include going bowling, going out to dinner as a troop,visiting American Girl Place, or going to a museum.
- After they figure out what they want to do, lead a discussion about how much the activity will cost. Brainstorm ideas to earn the money.
- Remind the girls that they can set goals to help others, like working on a service project and joining together to help other people.
