STEM

Through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programming, Girl Scouts advance their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

The 2022 Fall Membership Year kicked off with a science-focused Tree Promise event at Trefoil Ranch where 50 participants learned about the importance of trees. Then they planted 24 trees around the property.

The council’s Astros Astronomy Club started meeting in the 2021-2022 Year, offering a girl-led opportunity to explore the night sky.

Other activities offered last year included Spooky Science, Think Like a Programmer, Family Science Night, and participation in First LEGO® League. Girl Scouts had four First LEGO® League robotics teams with 22 participants.

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship programming provides opportunities for Girl Scouts to develop stronger people skills, set goals, and build a valuable work ethic. In addition to programs throughout the year, girls can participate in the Cookie Program and Fall Product Program to further their entrepreneurial skillset.

To prep for the 2022 Cookie Program, Girl Scouts were invited to three virtual training events with Little Brownie Bakers. In addition, GSU held a Cookie Vision virtual cookie rally, and 174 Girl Scouts participated.
