LiA Award

Today we completed the requirements for the Leader In Action (LiA) Award. It is a mentoring award that is earned by assisting a Brownie group on their National Leadership Journey. The Journey series we mentored was It's Your World - Change It! 

We shared our organizational skills, used special talents, taught Brownies something special from their Journey, and reflected on the experience.
