The Journey explores the many roles that women and girls play in the world around them, how stereotypes could hold them, and others back from trying on roles, and gives girls the courage, and confidence to try out new roles.<\/p>\n<p>One portion of the Journey was the \u201cSpeak Out\u201d portion where the girls learned about stereotypes and had to create a public performance that \u201cbroke\u201d a stereotype of their choosing. The girls decided to take on the stereotype that boys are better than girls at sports. They created a movie by planning out the storyboard, the shots, props, and actions in each scene and cast the boys for the video.<\/p>\n<p>The video can be viewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/CMs1g6\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/CMs1g6<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve learned a lot from this Journey so far about believing in yourself, and pushing yourself to try and do new things,\u201d said troop facilitator, Amy Mahardy. \u201cWe\u2019ve cooked, created, costumed, and done all sorts of things with this Journey.
