Brainstorm who Leaders are, i.e., Moms, teachers, presidents, CEOs, coaches…
On small pieces of paper or post its, girls will be asked to write down the qualities, skills and items that
describe the Leaders.
Afterwards, Guides will be asked to separate their pieces of paper or post its into two different piles, one
qualities that the leader was born with and the other with skills that the leaders learnt. Guides will be asked
to share something they put into each column and see if other Guides put them in the same pile.
Use of digital whiteboard to record some of the answers.

Activity 2
Communications:
Scavenger Hunt: Guides will be asked to find five items that mean something to them, these can be anything whether they are participating at home or in a Unit.
Those that are happy to share will be asked to describe what this item means to them or how it describes them and if it they can think does it match to a quality or a skill of a Leader that the group identified.
