Girl program services - moving at the speed of girls:we introduce Girl Scouts of every age to science, technology, engineering, and math (stem) to help them see how they can improve the world. Whether they're discovering how a car's engine runs, learning to manage finances, or caring for animals, Girl Scouts work hands-on, bringing stem to life.we'd like every Girl to explore different aspects of stem every year, so we've developed a unique, "fun with purpose" k-12 curriculum to inspire girls to embrace and celebrate scientific discovery in their lives.we also offer experiences in the areas of the outdoors, and entrepreneurship.girls who are unable to participate due to financial or other constraints are served via program staff of gshh.they also can receive financial assistance with transportation, dues, uniforms, and program materials. Girl scout houses and/or properties are used as locations whenever possible. Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson also delivers programming at local schools, houses of worship, community centers, and housing facilities. We also partner with other youth serving agencies on programs that promote leadership development.every attempt is made to offer these Girl Scouts complete and well-rounded experiences. Therefore, Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson covers the costs of these programs, including, but not limited to, hiring staff to work with the girls in these settings, uniform pieces, and program supplies.the benefits of Girl scouting are well-known and well-documented. Girl Scouts are groundbreakers, big thinkers, and role models. They are girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. They find the strength and confidence to lead the way, every day - and create meaningful change in themselves and their communities. Our programming introduces girls to essential concepts such as financial literacy and problem solving, promotes self-esteem and group collaboration, and gives girls the tools they need to empower themselves and others.
