all aboard the
polar express! Girl Scouts traveled to the North Pole from Camp Sycamore Hills on Sunday, December 16, 2018 to visit with Santa Claus and his elves just in time for the holidays. Girl Scouts started their journey to the North Pole on a trolley where the conductor read the Polar Express. At the first stop, girls made ornaments for their trees with the help of Santa’s elves. From there, they went and made stuffed penguins and snowmen to take home to remember their journey to the North Pole. After enjoying some yummy cookies and hot chocolate, girls met with Santa and told him what was on their holiday wish list. They also wrote him letters and sent them to the North Pole to make sure the items were on his list. Everyone knows a trip to the North Pole is not complete without visiting the reindeers. Santa’s reindeer made the equestrian center their home during their visit to Camp Sycamore Hills. Girls were able to spend time with the reindeer and the elves lead games such as picking up reindeer muck or lassoing a reindeer. We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!
Highest Award Trainings Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Trainings are designed to help girls along the way to earning the highest awards Girl Scouts has to offer. Sessions include information on the requirements for earning each award, the community impact, and tips for a meaningful Take Action Project. Bronze sessions are for adults only. Silver and Gold Award sessions are open to girls, leaders, advisors, and parents.
Upcoming Training Sessions: March 23: Putnam County May 11: Wilson County June 8: Davidson County August 17: Montgomery County For specific questions about Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Trainings, contact Poppy Lee at PLee@gsmidtn.org or (615) 460-0255.
BRONZE. SILVER. GOLD. These represent the most prestigious honors a Girl Scout can earn. Whether she wants to plant a community garden at her school and inspire others to eat healthy for her Bronze Award, advocate for animal rights for her Silver Award, or build a career network that encourages girls to become scientists and engineers for her Gold Award, she’ll inspire others – and herself! All Take Action Projects require final paperwork to be submitted to Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee for review. If the project submitted meets all criteria, girls will be eligible to receive recognition. The deadline to be included in the 2019 Girl Scout Honor's Day is February 15, 2019.

Introducing Latino Outreach by Sofia Guerrero
Tuesday evenings have become a special day for a group of girls who are new to Girl Scouts. These girls, ranging from Girl Scout Daisies to Juniors, form part of Troop 6011, our first bilingual Latina-led troop. Gathering at their local church, these girls quickly started to earn badges in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), first aid, and healthy living, while incorporating their cultural traditions like celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and the Day of the Dead. Although this is their first year in Girl Scouts, this troop has not been afraid to explore what it means to be a Girl Scout.
10
The intentionality that went into the formation of this new troop started when Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee chose to take a closer, more conscious look into the Latino community and how to best serve girls and their families. We realized we could not simply take a language approach by merely translating materials. We needed to incorporate a cultural approach – meeting Latino girls and families in their community and places of trust. With the help of key members in the Latino community, Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee created a specific plan to culturally shift our approach and mindset. Participating in more Latino community events, partnering with organizations that already serve Latino families, and recruiting bilingual troop leaders has been a focus since summer 2018.
Like every troop leader, the leaders of this troop have played a major role in the formation of Troop 6011. Though they had no previous Girl Scout experience, both leaders quickly learned about our Girl Scout history, traditions, and mission. Able to speak both English and Spanish, these troop leaders have made Girl Scouts more accessible to the girls and their families by bridging the language barrier. Through the work of the leaders, parents have learned the benefits of Girl Scouts and how Girl Scout values resemble those of the Latino culture such as family, trust, and
respect. Parents have placed their trust in Girl Scouts because they see the positive impact their daughters receive from being part of this organization. As we begin to establish more troops like Troop 6011, our hope and vision throughout this process is to intentionally provide an environment that creates an opportunity for all girls and their families to feel welcome as we equip Latina leaders to positively impact their community.
If you would like to be involved in our Latino Outreach, please contact Sofia Guerrero at SGuerrero@gsmidtn.org or 615-460-0229.

s t u o c S l r i G #madeby Do you remember your first Girl Scout troop meeting? Your mom drove you to the leader’s house – a new place in a new neighborhood to meet new people! You were nervous, but you became part of a community the first time you met your troop. I love that I have made many new friends and experienced a wide range of activities. From camping with other troops to being the color guard caller at the annual Girl Scout Luncheon, I have had the opportunity to meet new friends and keep the old (because some are silver and the others are gold)! In Girl Scouts, we are a powerful sisterhood, motivating each other to change the world. No matter what your favorite activity is, Girl Scouts teaches us all the importance of leadership and citizenship in our communities by helping us make the change we wish to see in the world. This motivation goes beyond the troops and service units – Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee’s Teen Advisory Council
by Ivy Adams
has identified a need to enhance the focus of the older Girl Scout age range. We want to boost membership in the Girl Scout Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador levels through the #madebyGirlScouts movement! Middle school marks a change in everyone’s life – you are entering a new chapter! Unfortunately many girls give up Girl Scouts in order to pursue other passions, but this organization provides all of these experiences (and more) through a wide range of programming! #madebyGirlScouts wants to show the world that Girl Scouts is more than cookie sales. We are adventurous! We are creative! We are sisters! “How can I join?” is too often asked in conjunction with “I haven’t heard about Girl Scouts since kindergarten.” Many girls want to join, recognizing the benefits of Girl Scouts, but are not supplied with resources to begin this life-changing journey. Through mentorship programs with real advice and vlogs with practical skills, the #madebyGirlScouts movement will promote a positive change in the lives of girls worldwide, showing them the opportunities available to older Girl Scouts. Empowered, Girl Scouts are determined to make opportunities to drive their future forward as the learning extends beyond the troop. By motivating others to earn honors and inspiring them to pursue new projects, #madebyGirlScouts will provide a way for girls to achieve their dreams by continuing as an upper-level Girl Scout. One of the most rewarding experiences for older Girl Scouts is the Girl Scout Gold Award. This prestigious recognition may seem daunting to tackle, which is why many do not “Go for Gold!”, but the highest honor in Girl Scouts is worth

the commitment. After being approved for my project, I quickly began teaching 30+ hours of healthy living classes across my county to address the high rate of childhood obesity sweeping our state and our country. Though my project required great dedication, I would not trade the eye-opening experience for the world. The Girl Scout Gold Award has given me the world – or at least a new perspective on it. The reward stretches beyond the scholarships and recognition because I made a sustainable impact on my community! The #madebyGirlScouts movement seeks to share this and other opportunities to girls, guiding them through the obstacles they may face in development and implementation of the service learning opportunities that motivate girls to build courage and confidence. And yet, even earning the Girl Scout Gold Award is not a girl’s main priority in Girl Scouts. In my eleventh year of Girl Scouts, why did I keep with it though many troops were dissolving? With teams of leaders establishing multiple avenues of inspiring content, all girls will have the opportunity to connect with new mentors. The #madebyGirlScouts movement is by girls and for girls, emphasizing the importance of expanding your horizons by broadening your base of experience! However far we go, we will always share memories and have lifelong friends. In my troop’s Court of Awards ceremony, I was asked to speak on the friendship that binds our troop together, so, I read my poem, entitled To A Troop of Friends: Friends remain in your heart: When absent, they’re still seen. Friends make our lives happier In every in-between; For our friendship’s development We thank the Girl Scout Way. We celebrate here, together Friends, we shall stay. So lift up your voice – To the future, we cheer; Our achievements, we celebrate;
As members of the largest girl-led leadership organization in the world, we want to lead our 1.8 million fellow members through the journey of Girl Scouts, started by Juliette Gordon Low more than 105 years ago. Whoever you are, whatever you do, and wherever you come from, YOU can be a Girl Scout! YOU will always be part of the worldwide sisterhood that connects us all.
A troop of friends, we hold dear.

biases against their gender. My challenge is to empower them and give them the wisdom to navigate the world and shape their own successes while leading others to do so as well. Professionally, my challenge is to be a positive and impactful representative of the organization that I firmly believe gives all girls the skills and confidence to face the same hurdles I see for my daughters.
by Lanny Brown
An interesting question, isn’t it? When taken literally it seems a bit ironic to use a masculine term to qualify for a perceived feminine position. If we step back and consider what the question may actually be asking, it becomes no less complex.
So are you man enough to be a Girl Scout? Am I? The challenge is not to prove yourself or rise to the occasion. The true challenge is to live each day attempting to embody the ideals outlined in the Girl Scout Promise and Law and to know that regardless of your position, the next generation relies on us to demonstrate the value and potential of these ideals.
I, like most men, have been asked some version of this question countless times throughout my life: as a child, an adolescent, and even as an adult. It has come up in multiple scenarios and within a variety of social situations. Regardless of how or where, the reason is always the same. It is a challenge. Of course, among a group of teenage boys or in a fraternity house this challenge may be ill advised or even inappropriate, but without exception, this phrase is always a challenge‌ to prove yourself, to rise to an occasion, or to be brave in the face of adversity. As a longtime Girl Scout volunteer and now an employee of Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee, I have grown in my understanding of the role of Girl Scouts and the impact it has not only for girls, but the world we all live in. I have also come to understand being a Girl Scout is a challenge for each of us. Personally, my challenge is raising two daughters in a society that continues to grapple with conscious and unconscious gsmidtn.org | Winter 2019

Riding with IEA In September 2018, our Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) show team had a great start to the season at a show in the Shelbyville area. The girls placed well both individually and as a team. The high school team was champion team both days and the middle school team was reserve champion both days! One of our high school riders, Sabrina Knight, was the high point rider both days. Further, this show even named one of our horses, Chance, as Horse of the Weekend.
In addition to the tangible accomplishments of ribbons and placings, comments made by girls and parents demonstrate the team’s success goes beyond having performed so well. Sabrina says, “I think this team is great, and we all have such a good relationship that we wouldn’t have without IEA. That showed especially this weekend with how well we did and I look forward to the rest of the season.” The girls especially enjoyed supporting and encouraging each other! Another favorite response is an email that a mother sent to our two volunteer coaches. When Hannah started riding at camp, she was so shy she would not even look at or talk to adults, but she has come so far! Here is what her mother wrote about Hannah’s first show experience: After sitting back and watching the other teams and coaches interact all weekend, I am so proud that we get to be part of the Sycamore Hills IEA team. Being part of a team with excellent sportsmanship is more important to us than winning, and this weekend

Hannah got to experience both. She went in not expecting to place and instead left with 4 ribbons she is still carrying around with her (I think for now they are in her school locker!). Hannah has wanted this and worked for it for several years now. Thank you for letting her be part of it. She still can’t stop smiling! She was more prepared than I thought she was, which is a huge thanks to her instructors. Hannah has not always been the most confident rider, but this weekend I got to watch a whole different kid in the show ring. As a mom, my greatest joy is watching my kids set goals then smash them. She definitely found her thing, and she hopes to ride with this team as long as you’ll have her. Hannah has probably watched the videos of her rides 50 times to see what she could do better next time.
Thank you for putting this team together. Thank you for caring about Hannah all these years, and knowing how to push her. If you had asked me 5 years ago about Hannah’s riding “career,” I would have laughed. I was sure she would get scared and beg to quit. I knew she would never jump. I was sure she would panic before showing and freeze. I was sure she would cry. Thanks to your faith in her, none of that ever happened. She smiled in the show ring more than I have ever seen her! Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it. You helped my girl find her thing and gave her more confidence than you’ll ever know.
