2010 Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland Annual Report

1. 2010
annual report

2. What Did You Do Today?
It’s such a simple question, and yet very revealing. If you ask the average person
on the street that question, you may hear a mundane answer. But ask a Girl Scout
and you’ll hear:
“We toured the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.”
“I learned that true beauty lies within.”
“I coordinated a blood drive in my community.”
Simply put, Girl Scouts get to do more. More exploration, more
self-discovery, and more community building. With the support of generous
donors, foundations and corporations, we look forward to giving girls even more
opportunities in the years to come.
The following stories reveal how Girl Scouts are using the three keys to leadership
(discover, connect and take action) to make our world a better place. We hope
you’re inspired by their answers to the question: “What did you do today?”
Yours in Girl Scouting,

4. Starry–Eyed Dreams
Come True at NASA
Girls in Space Program
While many girls their age spend their time looking down at
cell phones and iPods, Girl Scouts Allison Stukey (Wichita)
and Shelbey Logan (Salina) spend most of their time looking
up—at the stars.
Allison and Shelbey, along with volunteers Fred Gassert and
Brindi Stables, made up one of only 10 Girl Scout Council
teams (out of 109) selected to attend a Girls in Space
program at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt,
MD in July 2010, to learn about NASA’s Science Mission
Directorate (SMD). Upon their return, these Girl Scouts were
charged with developing their own Girl Scout Astronomy
Clubs, giving future generations of girls the opportunity to
reach for the stars.

opportunity to visit the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson many
times, and I’ve even got my grandparents, aunt and uncle
more interested in NASA and in space in general.”

5. Girl Scouts Given Opportunities to
Lead through Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM)
In a world being transformed by technology, only one-fifth of American scientists and
engineers are women. What’s missing in science education for girls?
Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland (GSKH) is meeting this challenge head-on, introducing
girls to exciting programs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Here
are just a few of the programs GSKH offered in 2010:
Rootbeer, Rockets and Robots: Girls learned to brew root beer, build and
launch rockets, and design and create working robots at Starwoods Outdoor
Center in Clearwater.
The Magic of Chemistry: Girls learned how to use chemistry to analyze ink,
soil samples and handwriting to solve a mystery at Emporia State University.
Get WiT It: The Women in Technology (WiT) group at Butler Community
College showed Girl Scouts how to use the computer as a tool for success
and helped them earn their Discovering Technology and Architecture Badges.

Great Bend Girl Scouts had fun creating their own “healthy” magazine covers during their
Uniquely Me program series. Over the course of 8 weeks, these Girl Scouts learned about
health, self-image, media, friendships, bullying and how to handle stress.

Girl Scouts Advocate for
Healthy Media Images for Girls
By the time the average girl graduates from high school, she will have spent 15,000
hours watching television versus 12,000 hours in school. This does not include the
hours spent online, playing video games, listening to the radio, or reading magazines(1).
The Girl Scout Research Institute survey, Girls and Body Image
(2010), revealed alarming statistics about teen girls’ relationships
with the media and fashion industry.
• Nearly 90% of girls surveyed say the media places
a lot of pressure on girls to be thin
• 60% of girls compare themselves to models
Girls with healthier
• More than half of girls (55%) admit they diet

more likely to pursue
leadership roles.
• 31% admit to starving themselves or refusing to eat
as a strategy to lose weight
Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland, along with Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), made a
historic commitment to developing programming and policy solutions that promote
girls’ healthy living and media literacy. In partnership with the Dove Self–Esteem Fund,
a new curriculum resource was developed to help improve girls’ media literacy skills
called It’s Your Story, Tell It!, the third in the journey book program series.
In addition to developing programming for girls, GSUSA worked closely with
Congresswomen Tammy Baldwin (D—WI) and Shelley Moore Capito (R–WV) to
introduce the Healthy Media for Youth Act (H.R. 4925). This bill supports media
literacy programs and youth empowerment groups, facilitates research on how images
of women and girls impact youth, and establishes a National Taskforce on Women and
Girls in the Media.
Over the course of the next two years, Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland will be
conducting community conversations around the Council to educate and inform the
public about the issue, in addition to working with state and local elected officials.

8. Girl Scout Earns Silver
Award, Saves Lives
Girl Scout Cadette Abby Maycock (Emporia), took action to
“make the world a better place” by organizing an American Red
Cross blood drive in September 2010 at the Amend Girl Scout
Center in Emporia.
Abby took on all aspects of the event—from planning to
recruiting donors to serving snacks the day of—all a part of
earning her Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scout Silver Award
is the highest award a girl age 11 to 14 can earn in Girl Scouting.

Community Service
a Cornerstone for
Girl Scouts
Last year, Girl Scouts nationwide provided more than
75 million hours of direct service to their communities,
and Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland certainly helped
contribute to that total. Here are just a few of the
community service projects completed by Girl Scouts
across the Kansas Heartland Council:
Good Turn for Goodwill Girl Scouts are encouraged to
participate in this community service project every March on
behalf of Goodwill and their community. More than 550 Girl

Cookie Share Girl Scouts learn entrepreneurial skills
such as marketing, customer service and money handling
through the annual Cookie Program, but they also learn
how to “share the sweetness.” Through the Cookie Share
program, Girl Scouts across the council collected more than
10,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to donate to Catholic
Charities, the Kansas Food Bank and our military men
and women of McConnell Air Force Base and the Kansas
National Guard.

To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law. and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
