Plan
- Does one of the Scouters have a gratitude journal that they would share with the group?
- Research what gratitude is and think about somethings that you are grateful for.
- What supplies do you need?
- Do you need adult help?
Do
- Design your journal and add all the things you are grateful for.
- Try doing this every day for a week, then try a month.
- See how you feel after doing it. Does it make you feel happy, grateful, sad, or even uncomfortable?
- Think about why this is.
Review
- What did you enjoy about the journaling?
- What didn't you like?
- What could have been better?
- What do we know now that we didn’t know before?
