Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest troop 54323 girls are working on a badge called My Best Self that was made possible through a grant from United Way of Southwest New Mexico. Recently they worked on step 1 of 5 learning about how they are all the same but yet very unique form each other. They all made small books of themselves showing how hair color, eye color, etc. and how they are all different. Then played a game to find out how they are similar such as having, for instance, a sister, having a pet, and again hair and eye color. Girl Scouts discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together.
