Our Promise, December 2019

STEM STARTS HERE

Whether it’s coding, chemistry, robotics or cyber security— Tomorrow’s STEM leaders start at Girl Scouts.

For more than a century, Girl Scouts has designed innovative and unrivaled programs to meet girls where they are now—and grow along with them. In July, Girl Scouts of the USA introduced 42 new badges curated exclusively for girls in kindergarten through 12th grade. The new programming enables girls to choose how they want to experience and influence the world, while preparing them to address some of society’s most pressing needs through hands-on learning and real-life problem-solving in cybersecurity, coding, space exploration and environmental stewardship. The new programming also includes 18 Coding for Good badges, which not only teaches girls the basics of coding, but also details every stage of the coding process. Thousands of eastern Missouri G . I . R . L .s ( Go-getters , Innovators , Risk-takers , Leaders ) TM kicked off the new Girl Scout membership and school year by registering for programs that reflect this new badge work!

These Girl Scouts are already discovering their passions and tackling new challenges at the Berges Family Girl Scout Program Center and with our more than 190 local Program Collaborators!
