Below are the documents discussed during the Relational Aggression 101 course.
The course is being offered at select service units.
If you think your service unit would benefit, contact your field executive to arrange a Relational Aggression 101 course.
Relational Aggression 101
This powerpoint presentation is used during the course.
Normal Conflict vs. Bullying
Conflict between girls/adults is a normal occurrence.
Relational Aggression or bullying someone is not acceptable behavior.
Learn the differences between the two with this table.
Ground Rules
Ground rules are essential for creating a safe place.
Check out this document to learn how to help the girls create effective and meaningful ground rules.
Check In
Creating a routine in your troop is a great idea and it also helps you find out
what the girls are bringing to the troop meeting that day.
Check out this document to see how to begin a check-in routine in your meetings.
Peace Keeper Game
Learning how to give compliments and air grievances in a safe way is a great skill for girls.
Check out this game to help with that process.
No Way RA Patch Program
The movie Mean Girls may be funny, but relational aggression, or R.A., is no fun in real life.
When girls use R.A. (sometimes called female bullying), there are no punches or kicks.
Instead girls use words, relationships and behaviors to hurt other girls.
The "No Way R.A." patch program is a great way to build your friendship skills
and learn what to do if you run into "The Queen of Mean."
This program was originally written for girls 11-17 but can be adapted to reach any age girl.
Thanks to Girl Scouts of Colorado for sharing this program.
