Brownie Think Like A Programmer Journey Award

As of October 1, 2026, Journeys are officially retired. Girl Scouts may still earn Journey awards, but they are no longer being produced and will no longer fulfill the prerequisite requirements for the Highest Awards. We have extremely limited quantities of Journey books and awards available while supplies last.

In this Journey, you will:

1. Find out how programmers use computational thinking to solve problems.

2. Do 3 computational thinking activities: find out about paper programming; create a functional suncatcher to explore algorithms, variables, and functions; and create a personal innovation to discover rapid prototyping.

3. Plan a Take Action project that helps others. If you're a Girl Scout volunteer, go to Volunteer Toolkit for complete meeting plans and activity instructions.
