Save to Favorites

Who doesn't remember the scary middle & high school years?? Help us teach girls in grades 6-12 how to be a true BFF!

BFF (Be a Friend First) is designed to work with the aMAZE! Journey, Girl Scouts' highly acclaimed leadership program.

• The aMAZE! Journey gives middle & high school girls valuable skills to develop healthy relationships, prevent bully behavior, and become peacemakers in their schools and communities.
• In BFF, girls get to explore thorny issues like peer pressure, stereotyping, gossip, and cliques through engaging role-plays, creative writing, games, and discussion exercises. They can also create and lead projects in their schools and communities to tackle bullying issues on their terms and turf!
• BFF easily integrates into existing health or character education classes, or can even serve as an after-school program in the community.
• Healthy relationships are the solution to bully prevention. BFF inspires girls to lead one another--with friendship!
