Dear Troop Leaders and Families:

Many Girl Scouts don't start to think about the Gold Award, our highest and most prestigious achievement, until they reach the Senior or Ambassador level. But actually, the time to motivate girls to aspire to the Gold Award starts now. As her leader and mentor, your guidance can inspire a can-do attitude to help her reach the "PhD in Girl Scouting."

The Gold Award represents the culmination of a Girl Scout’s experience. Through this journey, girls discover their passion, find their voice and work together as a troop to positively impact their community. As they earn badges, explore the outdoors and grow as leaders, girls gain the confidence to take on a project all on their own. This is the path to the Gold Award. Remind your girl as she progresses that becoming a Gold Award Girl Scout positions her for success. The Gold Award is recognized by universities and can be critical in the college admissions process. Our Council and other organizations offer financial scholarships to girls who have earned the Gold Award. Additionally, the armed services elevates a Gold Award Girl Scout one rank higher than other recruits. But most importantly, Gold Award Girl Scouts have acquired project management and leadership skills that will follow them throughout their lifetime.

So instill in her a desire to make the world a better place. Take a look at the tips below to help guide her to become a Gold Award Girl Scout, no matter her level. It's never too early to begin going for the Gold Award.

Sincerely,

1

5 Remember that becoming a Gold Award Girl Scout takes determination. Girls should allow enough time to complete their project (generally two years). Take it one step at a time and let her know that if she runs into roadblocks, there are caring troop leaders and mentors there to guide her. Learn more about how to prepare for the Gold Award at gscnc.org/goldaward

Plant the seed when she is a Daisy and Brownie. Foster in her a love of Girl Scouting and an awareness that she is part of a movement where girls can make the world a better place.

2 Help your troop earn the awards designed for their level. Juniors earn the Bronze Award while Cadettes earn the Silver Award. In accomplishing their take action projects, girls develop more confidence as they see the impact of their work. They discover the kind of fun that happens when girls work together to make a difference.

Introduce your troop to a Gold Award alumna from your community. Connect with your service unit to find a Gold Award Girl Scout willing to talk to your troop about her experience. Learn more about our Council’s Gold Award Girl Scouts in our award yearbook at www.gscnc.org/goldaward.

4 Encourage your troop to experience it all, from camping, earning badges and cookie marketing to financial literacy and STEM exploration. These experiences can help girls determine their Gold Award topic and develop the determination to complete their project.

Girl Scout DC Step ShowcaseFebruary 24, 2018, 10:30am-3:30pmJoin us for the 12th Annual DC Step Showcase at Trinity Washington University in Washington, DC!

Step is a form of dance in which the performers – usually as a group – use their entire bodies as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. Girl Scouts of all levels can form a team and register to participate in the show. For guidelines and to register, visit gscnc.org/councilactivities.

Family and friends are invited to come out and cheer for all of our Girl Scout step teams and learn some signature step moves. This community celebration is free to all, so come out and enjoy a festive day of fun and dance.

Just before the show, a free activity fair will be set up celebrating Black History Month. Council program partners will also be available with exhibits on the many Girl Scout programs offered in our Council.*Please Note: There is no registration for spectators. Entry will be first come, first served

Girl Scout CampOur camps are for girls by girls!A key benefit of being a Girl Scouts is having access to our beautiful camps. In a girl-led, girl-friendly environment, girls challenge themselves and take healthy risks, surrounded by supportive friends, leaders and camp staff.

Girl Scouts believes in getting girls outdoors. Our summer camps allow girls to unplug from their smartphones, laptops, TVs and tablets, and get outside to enjoy nature. The Girl Scout Nation’s Capital summer camp information is available online at www.gscnc.org/camp. Programs from two days to two weeks are available for girls currently in grades K to 12.

When girls spend quality time outdoors and increase their exposure to nature they thrive physically, emotionally and intellectually. And that's great news because when Girl Scouts get outside, they: · Discover that they can better solve problems and overcome challenges. · Develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and be happier overall. · Become team players and care more about protecting our environment. Parent Summer Camp Information SessionJoin us for our Camp Webinar Series! Each webinar will cover a different topic relevant to both new and returning campers (and parents too.) The first webinar will be January 7, 2018 at 7:30 PM and will cover our great day and evening, and sleep-away programs this summer. More information at gscnc.org/camp.

Does your business support Girl Scout programming? Do you want to attract more Girl Scouts to your business? Maybe your troop visited a local business that provides badge workshops or Girl Scout discounts? These are all great examples of potential Program Partners.

Program Partners are local businesses in and around our Council that offer activities to enhance the Girl Scout experience. From skiing and tea parties to history adventures and science exploration, there are many exciting opportunities for girls throughout this region. If you are interested in becoming a Program Partner or want to recommend a business, please contact Abby Bradford at [email protected].

Explore STEM & Outdoors

Whether they’re camping pros or just starting out, girls of all ages can have exciting experiences in the great outdoors. Why venture out? Time spent outside teaches girls how to take healthy risks, problem solve and develop an appreciation for our environment. Check out ideas for helping your Girl Scout progress in the outdoors.

1. Hold a troop meeting outside. Start small by exposing girls to nature during your troop meeting. Girls can have fun planning a picnic, or taking a walk around their neighborhood.

2. Plan a short hike. Our region is surrounded by beautiful parks and hiking trails. Girls can practice leadership as they decide where to go, what to pack and what trails they’d like to take.

3. Earn the Troop Camping badge. The new Girls’ Choice Troop Camping badges allow girls to test their skills with age-appropriate activities. Daisies can try a backyard sleepover, while Ambassadors will test their survival skills as they embark on challenging camping adventures.

4. Register for Girl Scout summer day, evening and sleep-away camp. Whether she wants to camp for a few days or a week, she’ll practice independence while forming new friendships at Girl Scout camp. Talk to your troop about Girl Scout summer camps. The camp brochure will be mailed to all members by the end of December and information will be posted online. Registration begins in January and families should register early to get in the program of their Girl Scout’s choice. (see page 10)

Troops: Explore the Outdoors, Your Way

Are you ready to explore the exciting world of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)? Girl Scouts at every level have fun opportunities to unleash their inner innovator and discover how STEM can help them improve their world.

1. Try the new STEM Journeys and BadgesNew Journeys will help girls begin to Think Like an Engineer, Think Like a Programmer and Think Like a Citizen Scientist. Through the Robotics and Mechanical Engineering badges, girls learn how robots are designed and complete hands-on engineering activities like building and testing rollercoasters, race cars and gliders. Learn more by visiting gscnc.org/stemandoutdoor.

2. Earn the Staying STEM Patch Through our Council’s Staying STEM fun patch, get ideas for STEM-related activities, field trips and fun experiments like growing your own crystals or making homemade lava lamps. The patch is designed to highlight STEM opportunities around our Council and offer resources to help girls of all ages engage in STEM. Learn more at gscnc.org/kits

3. Be a Girl Scout Maker Have you ever dreamed about building a robot, designing a video game or even developing products to help people recycle? You can become a Girl Scout Maker! This year, girls will showcase their projects at Maker Day on Saturday, May 19 at NOVA – Annandale Campus. Girls can sign up to be exhibitors or attend with their troop and engage in hands-on activities and demonstrations that will inspire future makers and innovators. Visit gscnc.org/maker to learn more.
