MPMF & BBRP3 EventMPMF = “My Promise My Faith” created by GSUSA to connect Girl Scouting with faith; may be earned every year; for all agesBBRP3 = “Bible Basics RP3: Read to Picture, Ponder, and Put It Into Action” created by P.R.A.Y. for Christian girls to learn both Bible STORIES and how to do Bible STUDY; current series has 12 different patches which may be earned at any time; for all ages (including adults); lessons may be downloaded at rp3 Purpose:Create opportunities for GS Councils to partner with local congregationsProject: Offer a one day retreat that combines MPMF with BBRP3This would be a joint event of the GS Council and local churchRationale:GS Councils want to engage the faith community and grow Girl Scout membershipCongregations want to do Bible teaching, community outreach, and grow their own membershipMPMF is a generic program. By adding the Bible patches, it provides a ready-made Bible curriculum for the congregation GS Council:Choose congregation(s) for their location, denomination, inside connections with Girl Scouting, etc.Secure fundingProvide staff supportPromote and advertise the event to larger GS community Sponsoring church:The congregation would provide teachers.The congregation would also agree to offer a follow-up God and Me class (or other appropriate level) to keep the girls involved in Girl Scouting and draw families into their congregation. This would be an outreach opportunity for the congregation to meet unchurched families or those who are not active in a congregation. The people teaching the God and Me class would be the same as the one at the MPMF/BBRP3 workshop so that they would be familiar to the girls and parents. Considerations:Target a specific grade level? If Daisies and Brownies, require a parent/guardian to attend?The event would be Protestant/Christian but open to all girls in the community (not just the girls from the sponsoring church). Girls would earn and receive both the MPMF pin and a BBRP3 patch Sample event:Choose “Respect Authority” from the GS Law and combine it with “The Good Book” patch [need a catchy title!]See attached program outlineSee chart for subsequent ideas for pairing MPMF and BBRP3Program Outline:Combining MPMF and BBRP3MPMF: “Respect Authority”BBRP3: “The Good Book”Note: The following outline is based on the MPMF requirementsStep 1: Choose one line from the Girl Scout lawIntroduce GS Law - fun activities to learn the law - large groupStep 2:Talk to a woman of faith about “respecting authority”Mother/daughter conversation (answer questions)Woman pastor to introduce God as ultimate authorityStep 3:Gather three inspirational quotesInstead of 3 quotes, use BBRP3 and insert the 3 Bible stories from “The Good Book”Story 1: A Lost Book; Story 2: Getting to Know the Bible; Story 3: Training for GodlinessDivide into 3 groups and complete this requirement in three Round Robin SessionsSession 1 - 45 minutes Session 2 - 45 minutes Session 3 - 75 minutes Step 4:Make something to remind you of what you’ve learned This will be done in the third round robin which will be an extended sessionIdeas: skit, song, poster, etc.While girls are creating their project, mothers will write letters to their daughters.Step 5:Keep the connection strong Introduce the God and Me award and upcoming classesIntroduce the congregation’s Sunday school teachers, GS leaders, etc.Do a recognition ceremony MPMF - girls recite the GS Law and receive the MPMF pinBBRP3 - the 3 groups present their posters, songs, or skits and receive the RP3 patch Closing litany and blessingMatching MPMF and BBRP3MPMFLines from the Girl Scout LawRP3Bible Patches*Honest and FairFriendly and HelpfulOn the Road, Making RoomConsiderate and CaringBouldersCourageous and StrongOut of the Water, FireResponsible for what I Say and DoTents and SheltersRespect Myself and OthersHolesRespect AuthorityThe Good book, Wind of the Spirit, Bread of LifeUse Resources WiselyBirds of the AirMake the World a Better PlaceTreesBe a Sister to Every Girl Scout*Visit the P.R.A.Y. website for a chart describing the Bible stories and lessons for each patch. ................
