Etiquette and You

Cadette/Senior Interest Project Patch

Gold Award Project by Jamie Alexander

SKILL BUILDERS:

1. Years ago, young ladies were expected to

learn how to dance. To earn a proficiency patch

in the 1920’s Girl Scouts had to demonstrate 3

folk dances and 3 social dances. Learn the

proper way to do one folk dance and one social

dance. Also find some rules of etiquette for

social dances.

2. Correct posture has always been a part of

the upbringing of fine young ladies. How was

correct posture taught and enforced? Why is

posture important? Practice using correct

posture daily.

3.Different cultures around the world have

different customs, including what is proper and

what is not. Have fun researching what

differences there are between two other cultures

and the American culture. If possible, interview

someone. A good resource would be exchange

students at your local high school.

4. From the 1920’s to today, etiquette has

undergone very few changes. Choose two

of the activities from below to do:

* Demonstrate receiving, introducing,

and bidding guests goodbye.

* Write a note of invitation for lunch,

dinner, party or just a visit.

* Make a list of rules to be remembered

when you are a guest at other

peoples houses

* When invited to a party or other event,

how and when should you acknowledge

the invitation?

* What are your duties as the guest as

concerning the time of arrival, length of

stay, and leaving?

5. Table manners are important in daily life,

from basic snacks to fine dining experiences.

Make a list of at least 15 good table manners

that should be observed. Also learn the proper

way of serving a meal and helping yourself to

food as a guest. Set up a meal for your friends

to practice what you have learned.

6. There are other types of manners too. Take

this quiz from the 1955 Intermediate Level

Girl Scout book to see how good your

manners are. Remember, manners are your

ticket to popularity in some places.

* Do you listen carefully to what other

people are saying? Do you avoid

interrupting a conversation?

* Are you prompt when you have

someplace to be? Do you answer mail

quickly, too?

* Are your phone calls short so that

others may have their turn?

* Do you share the radio and television

at home?

* Do you refrain from pushing and

shoving even when you are in a hurry?

* Do you show respect for older

persons by small courtesies, such as

seating them comfortably and opening

doors for them to go through first?

* Do you behave as nicely to your

family as you do to your best friends?

* Do you contradict people and pretend

to know all the answers?

* Do you expect people to wait on you?

Do you expect your family to change

their plans to fit your own?

* How does the bathroom look after you

use it?

* Do you giggle and whisper at the

movies?

Work on any of the above that you have

answered negatively.

TECHNOLOGY:

1. Watch two or three TV shows or movies and

compare their manners to proper manners.

What is our society learning from these shows?

2. Go on line to

http://www.assumption.edu/HTML/Academic/hist

ory/hi113net/AAGPBL%20Charm%20school%2

0guide and read through what was expected of

young ladies in the public eye. Try a few of the

suggested tips and type up a summary.

3. Search the Internet for websites about charm

schools. Are there still some in our nations? If

so, where are they and what do they offer?

4. Search the web for websites on manners.

What all do they have to say about our society

and the way we act?

SERVICE PROJECTS

1. Make up, or adapt, a game for younger girls

to help teach them the importance of manners.

It could be an action game or a board game.

OR, you make up a skit and put it on for younger

troops in your neighborhood or association.

2. Give a tea party for a younger troop. Instead

of serving tea though, serve lemonade or punch

from a teapot. Teach them the proper way to

have tea.

3. Put on an event to introduce the Manners

Try-It, the Junior Manners and You badge, or

even the Cadette/Senior Interest Project. Invite

any Girl Scout who wishes to attend.

CAREER EXPLORATION

1. Learn about opportunities to share history

and women’s part in it through interpreter jobs.

A place to look would be the Juliette Low House,

or a state park area that has interpreters.

2. Research the jobs of the First Lady and other

women who are often in the public eye. What

do they do? How do they appear when we see

them on T.V. or at conventions? If possible,

interview someone.

3. How have careers and manners mixed in the

last 100 yrs? 50 yrs? Today? Find out about 3

careers that are related to manners and make a

pamphlet on them.
