Connections

areas ranging from race to social status."
(Daisy
through Senior Girl Scouts)
Do You Have the Power
"There are two fun-filled
activity guides: Girl Power! How to Get It for Junior Girl Scouts and
Girl Power! Keep It Going for Cadette Girl Scouts. Each guide focuses on
the importance of developing "Girl Power"—the power to speak your mind,
to stand up for yourself, and to know what’s right for you."
(Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts)
Game Face (GS info)
"What does a female athlete look like? A new Girl Scout patch developed
in conjunction with a book and traveling photography exhibit, "GAME
FACE: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like," helps young girls consider
that question. The goal of the patch program is to help girls nurture
the athlete within by breaking stereotypes often associated with female
athletes. Through art, history and writing activities, the GAME FACE
badge optimistically influences girls' views of the female athlete — and
ultimately of themselves." Here is the official
Game Face site.

hear in newspapers, magazines, and movies, as well as on television or,
most recently, the Internet. The Media Know-How booklets in the Issues
for Girl Scouts series will help girls to think critically about the
media. These booklets are packed with fun activities and important
facts. Leaders and girls can use these new resources to become more
media savvy consumers." (Daisy through Senior Girl Scouts)
