  1. How will these new Journeys impact the Journey Summit award? Will the girls now need to earn seven Journeys in two years to reach the Summit? That seems a little unrealistic.

    1. Girls will still be required to earn the Summit Award once they have completed ANY three Journeys for their grade level, including the new Journeys.
