Programs: When a girl participates in our product sale program (cookies, nuts, candy and magazines), she's part of the world's largest financial literacy program for girls, run by girls. She's building a lifetime of skills and confidence. She learns goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. She discovers that selling cookies is more than just a business - that she can do whatever she puts her mind to, that her decisions matter, and that she can make things happen. Our girls change the lives of those in their community through service projects and outreach, when they put the almost $1 million they earned in cookie proceeds to work.
journeys are girl scout programs that show girls how to make a difference in the world and have fun doing it. This program teaches today's girl scouts what it takes to be a leader and throughout their girl scout experience, girls learn the three "keys to leadership" - discover, connect and take action. Gssef has developed strategies that enhance what girls have learned through the journey programs offered in their troops by offering an all-inclusive journey in a day program to girl scouts at all age levels. We served 457 girls. In this one-day event, girls have the opportunity to work with their sister girl scouts to complete an entire journey curriculum through a series of projects, stations, and activities delivered by community partners and seasoned volunteers. Through this program, girls will learn valuable lessons about our planet and how to preserve it, create lasting memories with other girls, and in the weeks that follow, apply what they have learned and take action in their communities to make the world around them a better place. Following our one-day program, girls will plan age-appropriate service projects to implement "back home" in their respective communities.
the girl scout troop experience offers girls consistent, age appropriate settings to make friends, learn new skills, be bold, be heard and be themselves in a safe setting with nurturing adults to guide them on the journey. Funding provided by the children's services council allows girl scout troops to be located in underserved areas where volunteer leadership is extremely challenging in st. Lucie county. Gssef delivers an interactive combination of programs to 763 girls that includes "powerup" (focusing on anti-aggression and bully-prevention), stem activities (including candy science and career exploration in the technology fields), and healthy living (integrating sessions to boost self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as personal safety, nutrition and fitness).
