Girl
Scouts 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. We've included 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.
Ask your Girl Scout leader or advisor for help in planning a fun
routine. Many councils have partnerships with parks and recreation
departments, sports organizations, and with schools and colleges
for instruction and facilities.
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 Brownie Girl
Scouts or Fit & Fun for Junior Girl Scouts. Record your
activity on the
shape UP! Activity Record.

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 great. Please do all of the activities for your age
group.
