She wanted to know:  Our Council is pushing for a spring enrollment campaign.  What community service-unit level recruitment events have you seen work well? In this episode, I shared some basics about recruitment in general (because even though that’s not what I set out to record today, it felt necessary to establish a baseline response), a direct answer to this question about the recruitment events I know are really popular in my area, and also my ideas and thoughts about a HUGE missed opportunity for recruitment: online marketing. I’m a business owner, and online marketing is literally how I’ve built my multi-six figure business. I started from 0 as a solopreneur service provider, and now I have a team across multiple states and a pretty sizable book of business getting remarkable results. So, I know a thing or two about online marketing. I also know quite a few really spectacular online marketing experts who will have even more thoughts and insight into how we could potentially incorporate online marketing into our recruitment efforts, if that sounds interesting to you.

]]> 769 Ask Me Anything: How to Do Cool Journeys & Take Action Projects That Don't Feel Like School This episode is based on a couple of questions I received in the Facebook group recently... Tina asked: "How do you get girls interested in working on the real meat of the Girl Scout program - journeys and higher awards? The topics seem to be too complex compared to badge topics, which I anticipate they’ll be more interested in, based on our past two years together as Brownies (they are now juniors). I’m interested in trying a journey with them and I know I don’t have to follow the manuals exactly but it does feel more like it comes off as schoolwork. I’m not sure how to nudge the girls a bit into wanting to try one." & Amy asked: "Ask me anything…. Any tips for how to help my Junior troop brainstorm for Bronze? (Or honestly any take action?). We get stuck on animals…. I’d like to try to get them to think bigger and widen their scope! We’ll probably still end up with animals…. But who knows!"

Remember that, although troops can make monetary donations to other organizations, they cannot raise money specifically with the intention to donate that money. The ONLY organization a troop can raise money for, per our non profit status, is Girl Scouts itself.

    STEM and STEAM are serious buzzwords these days and it seems like Girl Scouts as an organization is DRINKING the KOOL-AID. Are you sick of STEM... or do you LOVE it? 

    Girl Scouts is focused on STEM and STEAM because.... Girl Scout STEM programming WORKS.

    The four ways that Girl Scout STEM programs impact girls are:

    1. STEM Interest (girls are excited about STEM subjects and want to learn more)
    2. STEM Confidence (girls have confidence in their STEM skills and abilities)
    3. STEM Competence (girls think scientifically to solve problems)
    4. STEM Value (girls learn the importance and relevance of STEM to people and society)

     

    Statistics show the reality is that...

    • Girls and boys are NO different in their actual abilities to do math and science, what is different is their interest and CONFIDENCE in those subjects
    • As early as SECOND GRADE, that’s FIRST YEAR BROWNIES, kids agree that “math is for boys and not for girls”
    • Women are more likely to earn a college degree than men in GENERAL, but LESS likely than men to earn a degree in engineering, computer science, and physics
    • Although women make up more than ½ the US workforce, they comprise less than a quarter of STEM jobs, with the greatest gap occurring in engineering and computer science

     

    These days STEM pervades every part of our lives - 

    • Scientists conduct research and make discoveries that help us learn more about the world. 
    • Technology, like computers and smartphones, connects people and makes our lives easier. 
    • Engineers design and create so much of our environment, from buildings to roads to electronics.
    • Math helps us make sense of information, understand how things work, and solve problems in the world.

     

    But, it is undeniable that girls and women are underrepresented across all levels of what GSRI calls “the STEM pipeline:"

    • from their initial interest as CHILDREN
    • to majoring in a STEM subject in college or higher level degrees,
    • to pursuing a STEM career as an adult 

     

    STEM goes hand-in-hand with GSLE Principles:

    • Girl Led, Learning By Doing, Cooperative Learning
    • Discover, Connect, Take Action
    • Sense of Self or Self Confidence, Positive Values, Seeking Challenges, Healthy Relationships, and Community Problem Solving

Yes, the host of this podcast supports #BlackLivesMatter, but this is not a podcast about that. If you are looking for some good episodes about the current anti-racism movement and the ways you can personally acknowledge and challenge your own privilege and inherent biases, here are some recommended links to episodes with Black hosts and producers: https://shuntagrant.com/what-you-can-do-about-racism/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/importance-nationwide-protests-over-george-floyds-death/id1515152489?i=1000476365582 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nikole-hannah-jones-on-george-floyd-history-systemic/id1234429850?i=1000477790377 If you're sick of this topic all over the news and social media, and you just don't want to talk about it or hear about it anymore, I urge you to hang in there with me for this episode. This is not about anything political - it's just about where Girl Scouts as an organization stands regarding all of this and how Girl Scout programming is built to engage with this subject matter, and your role and responsibility as a volunteer when it comes to handling these issues. We're going to cover all the basic reasons why volunteers are inclined to leave this subject matter and this work out of Girl Scout meetings and events. Here are some strategies you can start considering regarding your troop and Girl Scouts in your area immediately: Make it a priority to diversify guest speakers, field trip options, and subject matter experts - especially Black women Diversify your troop leadership - and where to find potential troop leaders if you have a pretty homogenous (read: white) friend group Consider the diversity in your troop - and if there isn't any, why is that? Does your troop reflect the neighborhood you're serving? If not, why? If so, why isn't your neighborhood diverse? Where are people of other races living near you, and do they have robust Girl Scouting opportunities? What areas of your state/council/community are underserved by Girl Scouts, and does that correspond to any patterns in racial demographics? How can you help recruiting efforts? What media are you consuming with your troop? Do you read together, watch movies, and so on? How can you diversify this media, AND how can you help girls notice patterns in the media they're already consuming, even outside of Girl Scouts? Have you done this year's World Thinking Day and Global Action badge activities around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Gender Equality? If not, how can you ensure that you are specifically addressing racism and race identities when implementing the program?   Having questions or concerns?

Buckle up because I've got another potentially unpopular episode for ya today!  We're taking a break from COVID-19/Social Distancing/Virtual Girl Scouting discussions to talk about the current events, protests, and anti-racism movement happening both in the streets and all over social media right now. Yes, the host of this podcast supports #BlackLivesMatter, but this is not a podcast about that. If you are looking for some good episodes about the current anti-racism movement and the ways you can personally acknowledge and challenge your own privilege and inherent biases, here are some recommended links to episodes with Black hosts and producers: https://shuntagrant.com/what-you-can-do-about-racism/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/importance-nationwide-protests-over-george-floyds-death/id1515152489?i=1000476365582 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nikole-hannah-jones-on-george-floyd-history-systemic/id1234429850?i=1000477790377 If you're sick of this topic all over the news and social media, and you just don't want to talk about it or hear about it anymore, I urge you to hang in there with me for this episode. This is not about anything political - it's just about where Girl Scouts as an organization stands regarding all of this and how Girl Scout programming is built to engage with this subject matter, and your role and responsibility as a volunteer when it comes to handling these issues. We're going to cover all the basic reasons why volunteers are inclined to leave this subject matter and this work out of Girl Scout meetings and events. Here are some strategies you can start considering regarding your troop and Girl Scouts in your area immediately: Make it a priority to diversify guest speakers, field trip options, and subject matter experts - especially Black women Diversify your troop leadership - and where to find potential troop leaders if you have a pretty homogenous (read: white) friend group Consider the diversity in your troop - and if there isn't any, why is that? Does your troop reflect the neighborhood you're serving? If not, why? If so, why isn't your neighborhood diverse? Where are people of other races living near you, and do they have robust Girl Scouting opportunities? What areas of your state/council/community are underserved by Girl Scouts, and does that correspond to any patterns in racial demographics? How can you help recruiting efforts? What media are you consuming with your troop? Do you read together, watch movies, and so on? How can you diversify this media, AND how can you help girls notice patterns in the media they're already consuming, even outside of Girl Scouts? Have you done this year's World Thinking Day and Global Action badge activities around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Gender Equality? If not, how can you ensure that you are specifically addressing racism and race identities when implementing the program?   Having questions or concerns? Contact me at girlscoutpodcast@gmail.com Have resources to share, or best practices?

Why are so many council events canceled this year? http://girlscoutpodcast.com/wtd-2020-is-world-thinking-day-cultural-appropriation-why-are-so-many-council-events-canceled-this-year Here's the first of a few World Thinking Day episodes! WTD 2020 is coming up on February 22! This year's theme is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This is NOT the episode where we cover activities and badge requirements... that's coming up for WTD, Global Action, and the WAGGGS award over the next couple of weeks. Today's episode topic is a bit more controversial. Was your council or service unit annual World Thinking Day event (the world fair style one) CANCELED?  There's two main reasons why: 1) This is not actually relevant to the WTD award or the Global Action award. It's also not actually the point of the WTD holiday.

    • Girls and boys are NO different in their actual abilities to do math and science, what is different is their interest and CONFIDENCE in those subjects
    • As early as SECOND GRADE, that’s FIRST YEAR BROWNIES, kids agree that “math is for boys and not for girls”
    • Women are more likely to earn a college degree than men in GENERAL, but LESS likely than men to earn a degree in engineering, computer science, and physics

    But, it is undeniable that girls and women are underrepresented across all levels of what GSRI calls “the STEM pipeline:"

    • from their initial interest as CHILDREN
    • to majoring in a STEM subject in college or higher level degrees,
    • to pursuing a STEM career as an adult

    ]]>     470 no     Building Deeper Relationships with Girls http://girlscoutpodcast.com/building-deeper-relationships-with-girls One of the most challenging things for a new troop leader is building relationships. We all want Girl Scouts to be a place where girls are establishing deep, healthy, positive bonds... with each other, and with us! Creating a safe space for them to connect with adults they can depend on and who are invested in their present and their future is one of the primary reasons most of us even volunteer in the first place! But, it can be awkward, challenging, and even forced, especially at the beginning! With such little time spent together in any given week or month, how do we just waltz in and encourage girls to be close to us?  Here are a few of my biggest tips for bonding with girls.  1. It takes time! The more years you are a part of her life, the more she knows you are a consistent and dependable adult she can rely on. And the literal number of hours you spend together... are the foundation for your bond! 2. Overnights and trips. Not just for the sheer number of hours you will spend together, but also because it's a special experience that fosters bonding and connection. 3. Girl Led, Learning By Doing, and Cooperative Learning while girls try new things and have new experiences. Help girls seek challenges using GSLE methodology... the program is literally built to support bonding and connection!   The idea for this podcast came from the latest episode of another Girl Scout oriented show - All Things Girl Scouts.

Girl Scouts is such a big part of her family that even her husband serves on her council's history committee! 

    Susan shares not just some interesting stories and memories of her own experiences, but she also shares some tips and best practices and advice for leaders, some historical perspective and history including multiple great Juliette Low stories, and more!
