In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low created Girl Scouts to provide girls with
opportunities to develop into strong, independent, successful women.
Today, we continue to offer research-based programs for girls with their
learning styles and development in mind.
For the past century weve been acutely focused on dispelling gender
stereotypes and creating a space exclusively for girls to learn and grow.
We are determined as ever to stay on this path so that more girls, through
Girl Scouting, gain confidence, seek challenges and become active
decision-makers and proficient problem-solvers to the greatest degree
possible and, frankly, so they are better equipped to navigate a world
that is still, regrettably, filled with gender bias.
Last week, the Boy Scouts of America unveiled its new name, Scouts BSA, to
reflect its decision to now accept girls in its program. What we havent
seen is any strategy or details about the programming they will be
offering to effectively serve a co-ed group of children. Girl Scouts,
however, has remained true to its mission and developed a national,
strategic initiative to expand the depth of its programs to meet the needs
of girls today and in the future, offering new opportunities for girls to
explore the outdoors, build technology skills and encourage
entrepreneurship.
To create more female leaders, we start young and make sure todays girls
are acquiring the courage, confidence, character and skills they need to
take the reins of leadership in the 21st century. Girl Scouts develops
programs that address a girls physical, emotional and mental development
focusing on the total girl highlighting those areas that help girls to
grow and become successful business owners, scientists, engineers,
doctors, civic leaders and environmental stewards.
Our programmatic focus on girls creates an environment where they will be
called upon, where they will have an opportunity to try their hand at a
variety of activities and where they are always expected to succeed. Most
importantly we have created a girl-led environment where girls get to make
the decisions; in Girl Scouts, there is no prescribed layout for what a
girl must do. This girl-led process helps girls to find their voice,
learning at an early age to speak up and speak out, creating a better
future for their entire community and culminating with the opportunity in
high school to earn the coveted Gold Award, earning them college
scholarships and higher rank in the military.
Girl Scouts has been a key driver of workforce development for women for
over a century. In the United States, 80 percent of female tech leaders,
73 percent of current female senators, 90 percent of female astronauts who
have traveled in space, and 50 percent of female business owners are Girl
Scout alumna.
Girl Scouts has worked closely with girls, volunteers, and staff to ensure
its programs are what girls want and need. For example, if girls want to
be able to protect themselves online, we have cyber security badges for
that; if they want to be an engineer, we have badges for that; and if they
want to experience adventure-filled outdoor activities, we have badges for
that too.
National partnerships with Toyota Financial Services and Motorola along
with local supporters such as BGE, Carefirst, Inovalon, Lion Brothers,
Northrop Grumman, T Rowe Price and WR Grace allows us to provide
innovative programming to more than 20,000 girls throughout central
Maryland including more than 4,000 through in-school, after-school and
summer programs for girls in underserved communities.
Girl Scouts are not merging (and have no plans to merge) with the Boy
Scouts, despite the Boy Scouts name change. To prepare girls today to be
the worlds leaders of tomorrow, Girl Scouts will provide them with an
unparalleled leadership experience when they are young an experience
that can only come from the best leadership organization for girls in the
world. Girl Scouts brings a wealth of knowledge that provides girls
cornerstone experiences with benefits to last a lifetime.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
