The Girl Scout Council of Vermont uses the information from the workshop to match girls with their mentor. Cadette Girl Scouts throughout New England ride a bus to the museum and participate in a sleep-in. They sleep in the Exhibit Halls, in the midst of dinosaurs, computers and the wave tank. Girls attend demonstrations, the Omni Theater show and participate in workshops. This is a very popular, organized activity with trained and certified adult volunteers.
Girls learn about ecology science through a wide array of hands-on exhibits.
They try the glass elevator, make enormous bubbles, observe a see-through beehive and visit boa constrictors. Sports Studies show that high school girls who play sports are less likely to be involved in an unwanted pregnancy, less likely to be involved with drugs, and more likely to graduate from high school. The Girl Scout Council of Vermont plays a critical role in combating lack of fitness among youth by encouraging all girls to establish healthy lifestyles and to remain active in sports as part of the Girl Scout program. In our fourth year, GirlSports Spectacular has become one of our most popular events. Offered to all girls in all Vermont schools from grades 1 - 6, girls build skills for an active, healthy lifestyle through a variety of sports.
