Above is a link to the Girl Scouts of America website, I for one am very surprised about the mission and goals as an organization, as for I previously thought (I don't mean this in a bad way at all) they were just an organization that came door to door and sold some of my favorite cookies. In fact, I couldn't have been more wrong, the Girl Scouts of America's leaders play a role in helping create an opinion at the highest levels of government to help promote the health and well being of young women. Here is a couple of bullet point I pulled off of their website on their 'Advocacy' tab.
- Encourages girls' healthy living through combating Relational Aggression and promoting girl-positive media images;
- Ensures girls feel emotionally and physically safe;
- Promotes girls' involvement in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM);
- Develops financial literacy skills; and
- Gives a voice to girls in underserved communities.
