Say It Brave!

GSCM is proud to provide mental health programming for our girls.  We heard the requests from our girls and we are happy we could find a program partner—Say It Brave Collective—to better help girls understand and recognize behaviors associated with mental health issues.  These programs take place the 3^rd Monday of each month, the next Say It Brave program is scheduled for December 20^th. We invite your troop to check it out! 

Call for Distinguished Women Shadow Girls

The 2022 Distinguished Women Shadow Girl application will be available on the website–gscm.org/dw–next week.  As a Distinguished Woman Shadow Girl, high school age Girl Scouts will apply to spend a day with a Distinguished Woman Honoree.  Here’s what one Shadow Girl had to say about her experience: 

“My day with Ms. Olivier highlighted the importance of good communication skills for customer service, presentations, and interacting with your team.  While I plan to study nursing next year in college, the insights I gained from my shadow day at BGE can be applied in a health care setting: I will need to work as a team with colleagues to provide the best patient care and, all that I learned about excellent communication is critical in nursing.”

Interested girls will need to submit their application packet by January 10, 2022. Girls will need to write a 500-word essay explaining why they should be selected as a shadow girl.
