Girl Scouts...It’s time to shape up!

This is your year! The year you shape UP! You’ll feel better, look better and have lots more energy for fun. So get off the couch, toss the 32-ounce can of soda and give your mouse a break!

To earn the Girl Scouts “Shape UP!” patch, do at least 30 minutes of activity three times a week for three months and all of the nutrition activities for your age group. Below are some charts to help you track your progress.

Part 1 - Get Movin!

Participate any way you want–in whatever activities you choose–by yourself, in a group, with your family or other adult. Just be active a minimum of 30 minutes three to four times a week for three months.
You can choose from the following list of sample activities, or think of an activity on your own. Leaders can also choose activities from GirlSports Basics for Daisies and Brownies or Fit and Fun for Juniors.

Part II – Eat Right!

It’s up to you! When it comes to your health, it’s the “power of choice!” You can live on pizza and fries or you can eat wisely – tasty meals with less fat, smaller portions and scrumptious new foods. Make healthy choices most of the time and you’ll feel better, improve your physical condition and look fabulous. Do all of the activities for your age group.
