Girl Scouts is more than an activity—it’s a Movement dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Wondering what your Girl Scout is learning as part of the in-school program? Here’s a breakdown of some of the activities we have planned this year.

Girl Scouts es más que una actividad: es un movimiento dedicado a formar niñas con valentía, confianza y carácter que contribuyen a un mundo mejor. ¿Te preguntas qué está aprendiendo tu Girl Scout en el programa escolar? Aquí tienes un resumen de algunas de las actividades que hemos planeado para este año.

STEM & Hands-On Learning  STEM y Aprendizaje práctico
We are continuing to grow our STEM-focused programming, giving girls opportunities to explore science and engineering through fun, interactive experiences:

  • Polymers & Slime – A hands-on activity where girls learn how polymers work while creating slime.
  • Polímeros y slime: Una actividad práctica donde las niñas aprenden cómo funcionan los polímeros mientras crean slime.

This activity encouraged kindness, mindfulness, and thoughtful reflection in an age-appropriate and hands-on way.
  • Gratitud y Reflexión: Durante el otoño, las niñas participaron en una actividad llamada "Frasco de la Agradecimiento", donde exploraron el significado de la gratitud y reflexionaron sobre las personas, los momentos y las cosas por las que están agradecidas. Esta actividad fomentó la amabilidad, la atención plena y la reflexión profunda de una manera práctica y apropiada para su edad.
  • Valentine’s Day Craft: Self-Love & Self-Awareness – Girls will create a Valentine-themed project focused on identifying things they love about themselves, celebrating strengths, kindness, and confidence in a developmentally appropriate way.
