Areas<br />
The Arts<br />
From photography to theater, the visual<br />
arts to storytelling - the arts help girls’<br />
creativity come alive. <strong>Girl</strong> Scouting<br />
encourages girls to view the world<br />
through the eyes <strong>of</strong> discovery by helping<br />
them develop their creativity, follow their<br />
instincts, and hone their communication<br />
skills. <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> open the world up for<br />
their interpretation and create whatever<br />
they dream up!<br />
Environmental<br />
Awareness<br />
Through <strong>Girl</strong> Scouting, girls see the earth<br />
as their home – a place where they<br />
care for the environment, practice<br />
conservation, and lay a foundation for<br />
future generations. Whether they’re<br />
learning about endangered wildlife,<br />
developing creative recycling projects, or<br />
taking action with eco-friendly<br />
community projects, girls are deepening<br />
their awareness <strong>of</strong> their environment and<br />
learning how they can make a<br />
difference.<br />

Life Skills<br />
<strong>Girl</strong> Scouting teaches girls everyday life<br />
skills such as healthy living habits,<br />
financial literacy, career explorations,<br />
and leadership development. Every<br />
girl deserves to live a healthy life<br />
emotionally and physically, develop<br />
practical skills that provide financial<br />
literacy, explore a variety <strong>of</strong> career<br />
opportunities, and let her voice be heard<br />
as she develops her own personal<br />
leadership style.<br />
Science,<br />
Technology,<br />
Engineering, and<br />
Math (STEM)<br />
<strong>Girl</strong> Scouting introduces girls <strong>of</strong><br />
every age to science, technology,<br />
engineering, and mathematics<br />
activities that are relevant to everyday<br />
life. Whether they’re discovering how a<br />
car’s engine runs, becoming math<br />
whizzes, or learning about careers in<br />
STEM fields, girls are moving forward into<br />
the future. They can design websites<br />
or new inventions, plan for space<br />
exploration, visit geological sites, and<br />
more.<br />
