Let’s start looking around for role models we can learn from so that we can change that. Think about some of your favorite businesses; shops, restaurants, small businesses, public services, non-profits, etc. Can you think of any of those businesses that have a female manager, admin- istrator, director, some other leader, or owner? If she’s okay with it, ask her permission to post a photo of her on your social media for this challenge. Use #LikeABoss, tag her business, and tell us a bit about her and what makes her such an awesome role model GOLD AWARD SPONSORS for girls. Submit a screen shot of your post to earn your points and spread the inspiration! Photo submission; Maximum Points – up to 93 A Dog’s Best Friend We all know that a Girl Scout is a dog’s best friend. And while lions may be the king of beasts, we’re willing to bet your kitty may be the king or queen of your castle. Prove it. Make your pet feel like the awesome animal royalty they are. Favorite treat? Favorite toy? Eating from the table? Sleeping in the place they never get to? Fabulous accessories? It’s totally up to you, just submit a picture to prove how you were extra kind to the furry (or feathered or scaled, whatever!) friend in your house who loves you so much! Bonus points if we can see how much your furry friend is loving the experience from the look on SILVER AWARD SPONSORS his / her face. Photo submission; Maximum Points – up to 147 A Winning Argument But that’s not fair! Maybe, or maybe not. But you’ve got to have a better argument than that! Is there a household rule that you don’t agree with? Maybe you want a later bedtime or curfew? Maybe you think you should have a raise in your allowance (or an allowance at all)? Watch PG-13 movies? Have your chores redistributed with some of your siblings? Friends over on a school night? Now’s your chance! Have that awkward but necessary conversation. Prepare your thoughts and examples, and - when you’re ready, take a deep breath, keep calm, and represent your case to the judge and the jury (i.e. your parent(s)). When negotiations are over, no matter what the outcome, with a member of the jury (i.e. an adult to whom you were appealing), film a short video to tell us 1) For what you were petitioning 2) What some of the points of your argument were and 3) From the adult, the result of the case. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor! Video submission; Maximum Points – up BRONZE AWARD SPONSORS to 173 Balancing the Books Professionally, the phrase “balancing the books” is an accounting term that basically means adding all of your income and subtracting all of your debts. But in QuestFest, balancing the books means, well, just that: balancing the books. Except the books should be on your head. Oh, and they should be hard-back as well (and NOT kids’ books). Snap a photo of you balancing up to 9 books on your head to earn 11 points per book for your team. The judges should be able to easily count the books in the photo. Photo submission; Maximum Points – up to 99 Be Prepared to Travel with EF Tours Our friends at EF Tours for Girls have been empowering Girl Scouts through travel for over 50 years!
