GIRL SCOUT COUNCILS OF VIRGINIA
Destination Imagination Virginia has created a one-of-a-kind event just for Girl Scouts. Troops will solve three different Instant Challenges, and also participate in various hands-on, interactive workshops. This event will introduce your troop to activities that build teamwork, teach critical thinking and time management skills, along with reinforcing problem-solving skills like rapid ideation and implementation. At this tournament, the troop members will solve the challenges, not the adults! You'll be amazed at the girls' innovation when given the chance to be creative and truly "own" their solutions.
All participants will earn a patch for attending the tournament.

What is an Instant Challenge?
Instant Challenges are quick creative and critical-thinking exercises that build teamwork and reinforce problem-solving skills like rapid ideation and implementation.
All teams will solve three Instant Challenges: Task, Performance, Combination (task and performance)
Teams will be given approximately 5 minutes to solve each Instant Challenge (time will be dependent on the challenge).

IMPORTANT: DI allows 7 participants per team. If your troop has more than 7 members, the troop will have to be divided so only 7 participants solve an Instant Challenge at a time. This may cause a troop to be divided into 2 or more teams.
