WE'RE G.I.R.L.S.: GO-GETTERS, INNOVATORS, RISK-TAKERS & LEADERS
I
f you thought Girl Scouting
was just cookies, crafts and
camping, think again.
Girl Scouts Heart of Central
California (GSHCC) is developing
cutting-edge programs and
experiences that energize and inspire
girls ages 5-17. Whether a girl is
interested in outdoor adventure,
engineering and robots, preserving
the environment, healthy living
or just developing a solid group of
friends who will stand by her through
thick and thin, Girl Scouts is where it
happens.
“Through Girl Scouting, girls
discover that they all have an inner
go-getter, innovator, risk-taker and
leader,” says Dr. Linda Farley, Chief
Executive Officer of GSHCC. “It’s that
can-do attitude that helps build the
leaders of tomorrow.”
Each year, GSHCC helps more
than 18,000 local girls develop
healthy relationships, seek changes
in the world, become resourceful
problem-solvers, and identify and
address community needs. Local
Girl Scouts have the opportunity
to participate in STEAM (science,
technology, engineering, arts and
math) programming that expands
each girl’s concept of what is possible.
Our GLOW (Girls Leading Our Way)
conference connects young women
with top female professionals to guide
their career exploration.
Coming later this year: our region’s
first girls-only MakerSpace! The
GSHCC MakerSpace will contribute to
innovation, collaboration and creation.
This groundbreaking venture will
include coding and computing areas,
a fabrication unit, maker-tinker spaces
and collaborative, creative zones where
girls can work together to design and
explore. As the young chair of our
MakerSpace task force says, “We are
girl-led and girl built!”
