STEM is not just for boys

Winter 2012

By Jordan Arnell

What do you want to be when you grow up? Do you dream of a career in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM)? Apparently not many of us (girls) do. Although women make up nearly half of the country’s workforce, they hold less than 25 percent of the STEM jobs. Why should we care? One of the reasons is that we are missing out on some fascinating career opportunities. Another is that women with STEM jobs earn 33 percent more than women in non-STEM jobs.

Girl Scouts of Colorado is making an effort to introduce more girls to careers in this industry through the Stem Squad program. The Stem Squad is a group of girls, grades 9-12, that meets one Saturday a month. Through these meetings, girls are introduced to local businesswomen who have made notable contributions in the STEM field. These amazing women are role models and mentors and can help girls network and find out more about STEM careers.

In December, Pamela Strong from United Launch Alliance and Sara E. Bury of Timberline Instruments spoke to the Squad. Bury, a recent CU graduate and chemical engineer, spoke about her experience as a young female engineer, what motivated her to become an engineer, what it was like to major in a STEM field and how she’s using her engineering degree now. There was also a discussion of the many career possibilities within STEM fields and the versatility of an engineering degree.

Pamela Strong told us about her work on the space shuttles and her role in the revolution to convert parts in rockets from metallic to nonmetallic, which saved millions of dollars in fuel costs. She has received many of the industry’s top honors and has been nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Science. She also told stories about sitting on Albert Einstein’s lap and playing with his hair while he told her a bedtime story.

Future meetings of the STEM Squad will focus on providing girls with information on careers in STEM industries through interactive activities, discussions and field trips. Girls may even have the chance to visit STEM-focused colleges and participate in STEM internships. If this sounds like something that would interest you, a new STEM Squad is planned starting in the fall of 2012. Watch the Girl Scouts of Colorado website, Twitter and Facebook for details.

Girl Scouts offers STEM events throughout the year. For more information on upcoming STEM programs near you, please check the Activity Finder on the Girl Scouts of Colorado website or email myfuture@gscolorado.org

Mid-October on a bridge hovering above a rushing river, stood four girls. It was a proud day for Gunnison, and one of the first Girl Scout celebrations of its kind in our community’s history. On the crisp day, four girls bridged into Girl Scout Seniors—the first Girl Scout Seniors in Gunnison. We walked across the bridge, making a joke, not realizing this could be a serious matter.

We waved as we each pretended to be a princess or a queen, greeting our country. But we never realized we would have a sort of power over people. Jumping across the bridge, some of us were almost knocked into the freezing water below. But the red, skinny bridge had wire around to protect us, just like we help and protect others as Girl Scouts.

We received flowers—some yellow, some orange—all cheerful. We curtsied and grouped together, our faces burning with excitement and smiles. We tried to be serious, but how could we? We were finally what we all worked for so hard and long. We are the eldest Girl Scouts in or near Gunnison. A dinner and dessert, a fun celebration. But we now all realize it is time to get to work.

Of course, we all wish to complete some fun badges—dance, singing, acting and so much more. But we have a bigger task at hand. We need to help the world. It is our obligation, our duty, as Girl Scouts and Americans to inspire younger girls to help. We plan to clean up our community, but that is only the beginning. Plans are being made to help Gunnison in all ways.

Perhaps we will collect canned food for the food pantry, or maybe we will earn money for a shelter box. Shelter boxes include shelter, food, water purification and more. Girls and women are amazing and deserve more credit; we want to help the female gender in all ways possible.

Growing up has changed us all; we see the world without sheltered eyes; and we see the delicate balance and need to help. It pains us all to see people suffer, we know we can help.

We love to read to and tutor younger girls; it feels better than anything else to help a younger kid and to be her role model. They look up to us for knowledge and help in everything. It can be difficult to be serious with them at times, since all we want to do is play games. We play with stuffed animals, with Barbies and more. Barbies can be excellent role models; they can prove women can be whatever they want to be.

To the children, it may only seem like a game. But beneath every game there is a hidden lesson. Princesses prove to them anyone can help, and the Disney Princesses give them lessons

they follow every day. It is heartwarming to see a child copy our motions and words to be more like us. Especially when they include people otherwise ignored and all other lessons that follow. So I suppose, it is not difficult to teach them anything especially when they learn through fun games.

None of us expected to be role models for children. We never expected being a Girl Scout Senior would mean so much. It isn’t just a party with colors and games like before, although it still is that too. We are now on a higher level. Preparing the future people and helpers in the world. Saving the world one person at a time, one act at a time. Bridging to Girl Scout Seniors is more than any of us expected, it is a light. A light that opens doors, hopes and dreams for us.

On Oct. 29, Girl Scouts of Colorado participated in the Colorado Clothesline Project. This is an art project and display dedicated to raising awareness and breaking the cycle of violence against women and girls.

Girl Scouts joined with other girls and women in the community to design T-shirts that express their emotions and raise awareness of violence against women in our society. The shirts were hung on a clothesline and displayed from Nov. 4–6 on South Gaylord Street in the Washington Park neighborhood of Denver.

Before designing our T-shirts, we listened to a powerful speaker, Ms. Lori Johnson. She talked to all the girls about the prevalence of violence against women and girls and presented some staggering statistics. Did you know that 1 in 5 women will experience an abusive relationship? She identified various forms of abuse and also explained the difference between unhealthy relationship behaviors and abusive behaviors.

We discussed what a healthy relationship looks and feels like and also what an abusive relationship looks like and why it is so important to spot some of the early warning signs of abusive behavior. Finally, we got together in groups and did some myth busting on the topic. Together with our partners, Girl Scouts of Colorado hopes to help break the cycle of violence by educating and empowering girls.

Jordan Arnell has been a Girl Scout for 8 years. She’s a student at Colorado Virtual Academy and lives in Centennial.

“Did you know that 1 in 5

women will experience an abusive

relationship? ”

As Girl Scouts, we’re girls who think big, shoot for the stars and get there. But that’s not the case for all girls today, and Girl Scouts are doing something about it!

What’s stopping girls today? Negative influences surrounding our lives, including peer pressure to not stand out, a lack of role models and mentors, unhealthy images in the media about beauty, and even bullying from our peers. If this current cycle of discouragement continues unchecked, millions of girls won’t reach their full potential as leaders in our society.

Research from Girl Scouts of the USA found that only 1 in 5 girls think they have what it takes to lead; nearly 40 percent say they have been put down by their peers when they try to lead, and 48 percent say they wish they were as skinny as the models they see in fashion magazines.

These things are keeping us girls from reaching our full potential. When we succeed, so does society. Girl Scouts has declared 2012 as The Year of the Girl. We shouldn’t settle for less because we’re girls. We can be whatever we want to be.

As older Girl Scouts, we can be role models for other girls and younger Girl Scouts. The 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting can be more than a big birthday party; it’s a time for the adults in our lives to join us in changing the future for all girls.

When girls succeed, so does society. Our generation of girls deserves to lead tomorrow’s boardrooms and courthouses and run hospitals and technology start-ups.

Girl Scouts of the USA is using this moment in time—the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting—to change the leadership landscape for girls and young women.

Ashley Marttila, 14, who has been a Girl Scout since kindergarten, applauds the campaign for helping girls set goals and reach them.

“Every girl should be able to do and become whatever she wants. No one should get stuck in a box trying to be like everyone else,” Ashley said. “We should all be able to be ourselves and be happy no matter what others tell us.”

Ashley is in 8th grade at Jenkins Middle School in Colorado Springs and said Girl Scouts gives girls an opportunity to lead.

“Girl Scouts lets girls be themselves,” she said. “We can lead events, earn awards and focus on reaching our goals.”

Celebrate Troop 2012In Colorado, on March 12—the official 100th anniversary—the leaders of today will show the next generation of leaders that the possibilities are endless. An Honorary Troop of female legislators will be inducted at the Colorado State Capitol while on the same date, every baby girl born on March 12, 2012, will be inducted into an honorary troop. Both honorary Troop 2012s symbolize all that is possible for the next generation. These baby girls could grow up to be successful lawmakers, businesswomen, professional athletes or anything they want to be because in their lifetime there won’t be peer pressure to settle for less.

Girls who want to get involved in the Troop 2012 activities and presentation at the State Capitol can contact Jaimie Smyser at jaimie.smyser@gscolorado.org.

The Girl Scout Leadership Institute, which is part of the National Convention, was held in Houston on Nov. 9-13. More than 1,200 girls ages 13 and older heard from world-renowned leaders and innovators and gained hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology and professionals. This year’s theme—Leadership and Innovation, the Next 100 Years—got girls thinking big.

Girl Scouts of Colorado sent 11 girls to the Girl Scout Leadership Institute. In addition, three girls got to participate as voting delegates. These girls are considered leaders in their council and they got to connect and take action on matters that touch the future for girls and the Girl Scout Movement.

Meeting a female astronaut was out of this worldI was fortunate enough to attend the GSLI convention in Houston in November. The excitement started when we got off the plane and met girls from all over the United States waiting for the shuttle to their hotel.

The hotel we were staying at was filled with mostly Girl Scouts and Girl Scout leaders in Houston to attend the convention.

The next morning the GSLI started. We attended classes for two days with girls from all different states. I really enjoyed meeting the female astronaut. Her story was really inspiring of how she became one. I also loved hearing the mayor of Houston and Katie Couric give the opening speeches.

An opportunity of a lifetimeEver been to Houston? We have. We are Cody and Cassidy St. Clergy and we represented Girl Scouts of Colorado as voting delegates at the National Convention and National Council Sessions in November. It was a blast. There were three delegates, the two of us and Lexi Eliseo. We had a great time in National Council Sessions. We learned a lot about the way GSUSA does business and how large business meetings are conducted. It was sometimes a challenge to pay attention and follow all of the rules of Roberts Rules of Order, but it was exciting to know that we were voting on propositions that could affect girls across the country. It was fantastic to be part of something that can impact girls right now and in the future.

We met a lot of awesome new people. We were glad to meet other girls from Colorado as well as Girl Scouts from around the United States. We were even fortunate enough to meet international Girl Guides as well. We were able to exchange swaps with hundreds of people. That was a lesson we learned quickly— at Convention 100 swaps are NOT enough.

This is Cody, I wanted to share my favorite things with you. I really liked the Exhibit Hall where numerous vendors had information or merchandise booths. I learned a lot of information about what GSUSA offers, about the World Centers and I got a sneak peak at cookie sale merchandise. I learned about fair trade merchandise and was able to purchase some lovely jewelry items. I also got my new Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting. When I was not in delegate sessions I attended the Girl Scout Leadership Institute (GSLI), a set of classes designed for older Girl Scouts in many areas of interest. I was able to go to classes with NASA Astronauts, learn about writing college applications and scholarship essays and even had a session about recycling and being Forever Green!

Cassidy here. I also loved the Exhibit Hall where I got to practice using the credit card readers used for Cookie Sales this year. I also was able to participate with other girls from Colorado and GSUSA staff in a panel about bullying and bullying prevention in the Exhibit Hall. It was not planned that way, but the GSUSA staff wanted to give us girls a voice in an area where we had personal experience.

I attended GSLI with other girls from GSCO and around the country and had a great time. One fantastic part of the Convention was the entertainment. There were musicians, motivational speakers and a huge party and fireworks display to kick off the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts celebrations.

Sara Bareilles was my favorite musical act and my favorite speaker was Katie Couric. They were amazing. Sara sang and played piano beautifully (we danced in the aisles) and Katie had a great speech and really great shoes.

We definitely recommend you apply to attend the National Convention and National Council Sessions when they are held again in 2014 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Girls in grades 9-12 can apply to attend as Council Delegates or GSLI participants. If your family enjoys Girl Scouting together, it would even make a great vacation to attend as guests. There is so much to see and do we can’t do it justice in a few paragraphs. You should just go and see for yourself. We will definitely be going to Salt Lake City in 2014. We hope to see you there.

Cody and Cassidy St. Clergy are Girl Scouts in Colorado Springs.

Break leads to being on a panel about bullying I was a GSLI girl at the National Convention. I have two stories that I would like to share with you. The first one is this:

Some of my Colorado friends were walking around the exhibit hall and ran into me. I decided to head out with them and I broke off from my other group to join into their group. After mingling for a while, we were so tired that we looked for a place to sit down. We found a small conversation room in the back of the exhibit hall. We were just about to sit down on the very uncomfortable seats in the back of the conversation room when we saw nice, comfortable looking couches. We were so happy that we spread ourselves out everywhere on the very comfortable couches.

We were there about 5 minutes before a woman from Girl Scouts of the USA came in and was just about to go on a panel about bullying. However, she didn’t have a panel group yet. We told her that we would be happy to be her panel and we were so happy when she said yes. We talked for 30 minutes about our personal experiences about bullying.

My second story is not really a story, just a special thanks. I would like to thank all the chaperones who came and assisted us in getting to the classes that we signed up for and making sure that we were everywhere we needed to be on time. I would especially like to thank Kelli, Inga and Susan, who were the main adult help.

YELLOWSTONE

NATIONAL PARK

a great Girl Scout

destination!

13Winter 2012

Are your summers boring? Does your Girl Scout troop need somewhere fun and exciting to go to over the summer? Well then you and your Girl Scouts should go explore Yellowstone!

For only $2,460 Girl Scout Troop 66 went to Yellowstone for six days. This included all transportation, food, campsites, National Park entry fees, patches, our hotel and rafting! We earned the money mostly through cookie sales but also from other product sales and programs we did for younger girls.

Yellowstone was a great experience for our girls and troop leaders. We learned tons about Yellowstone, animals, geysers and ourselves while we were there. We saw many animals, mostly chipmunks, squirrels, elk and bison. We were lucky enough to see a black bear too!

When we saw our first bison up close it was a bit scary because it was in the middle of the parking lot. By the end of the week though, we were used to seeing them all over.

We also saw Old Faithful, the most predictable geyser in the world. It spews up to 150 feet and was very fun to watch!

Some of us even saw it three times! The crowd alone that Old Faithful draws was very interesting to see. We liked meeting, listening to and observing all the international people. Listening to all the different languages was amazing!

As a troop, the activities we liked the most were swimming, rafting, tent camping, watching the huge bison, the outdoors and hiking. The gift shops were cool, too! We enjoy each other’s company, but realized that sleeping in the same tent wasn’t the best idea— we wouldn’t recommend it for a whole week. Sometimes we just needed a little personal space to ourselves. We also discovered that leaving the tarp off our tent in the middle of the night was a bad idea. During this trip we learned how to improve our camping skills and other skills too. We loved spending time together and learning about nature. Yellowstone is an amazing place to visit.

The eight girls of Girl Scout Troop 66 live in Northern Colorado. They love to travel and their trip to Yellowstone will surely be a favorite Girl Scout memory one day.

Girl Scouts stock the shelves at Ellicott God’s PantryFive girls from Troop 443 in Colorado Springs realized that times are tough, especially for people in rural communities. When people can’t afford the gas to drive into town and their budgets are so tight that a bar of soap won’t slip in, God’s Pantry is there to help the people of Ellicott, a small town on the Eastern Plains. The non-denominational nonprofit’s mission is to clothe the naked and feed the hungry.

Lily Noteboom, Amani Monroe, Sharon Dalsey, Elizabeth Spalding and Nicole Starr, fifth-graders at Academy Endeavor Elementary School, put their Girl Scout skills to work to help stock the shelves at God’s Pantry and earn their Bronze Award.

They made a big impact on a small community.

Small town, big impact

For my Girl Scouts Bronze Award my troop and I volunteered at God’s Pantry, a not-for-profit service for the community, providing clothing and food for families in need. They also sell some household items at very affordable prices to help cover business expenses.

One day my Mom and I stopped at God’s Pantry and talked to one of the volunteers. I asked, what are the main things that they are in need of most? She said boy’s and men’s clothes, soap, dry food and volunteer time.

We met at our troop leader’s house to start planning and brainstorming about where to get food and other items. I shared the information I got from the volunteer and we discussed collecting those items along with household items for donation. We made fliers and wrapped boxes with bright yellow paper and made posters.

The next thing we did to help God’s Pantry was to start a food drive around our schools, parents’ work and neighborhoods. Things we collected were men’s and boy’s clothes, soaps, dry and canned food, for example rice, beans, pasta, dry milk and cereal.

When the food drive was over we brought all the items we collected to our troop leader’s house to sort, fold and organize. The house looked like a crazy mess of donations, and we all pitched in to bag and box everything up for transport to the pantry.

At God’s Pantry we did an assembly line to unload the truck of donations. Next we started to unbag the clothes to hang and sort and fold. We also did some extra work. Some of the extra work was folding the donations that other people brought in and hanging up clothes. God’s Pantry operates solely on volunteers. They receive many clothing donations that had built mountains of clothes in the basement. By our troop volunteering to sort, fold and hang up clothes, before you knew it you could see the floor and table tops.

I felt like I had made a difference along with my troop. If I ever get the chance, I would like to volunteer to do something like that again. The regular volunteers were very thankful for all our hard work and the time we generously donated to the Pantry.

I learned that if you have a very tight budget it can be hard to buy nonfood items. Our troop leader challenged us to buy nonfood items like things you would use in a bathroom with a small budget of $10. So my mom and I went to Wal-Mart to purchase these items and I was able to find 11 items for one person to use in the bathroom for just a little over $10 and that included sales tax. Some of the items I purchased were a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, deodorant, shampoo, soap, bathroom cleanser, toilet paper and lotion, just about all you need. I realized that it can be very expensive to buy household items and sometimes you cannot get some of the things you want.

My work on this project made a difference to families in the rural part of our community. Many families that live out of the city can’t afford food without food stamps, clothes, body care and household items. Some families are unemployed and can’t afford the gas it takes to drive to town to shop.

My troop collected a truck load of food and other things to give to families. God’s Pantry is a great place for families to go for help. I am proud of the hard work and time that my troop and I did.

Lily is now a member of Cadette Troop 144 and attends Mountain Ridge Middle School in Colorado Springs. She is 12 years old and this is her third year as a Girl Scout.
