Natasha Zaslove from GirlGeeks introduced the troops to the show, explained the importance of young people learning about technology and presented the troops with voice-activated password journals. Jazzie Rae Gonzalez of Troop 155 was impressed with how seamless the networked operation appeared. The cadets even did their best Tiger Woods on a putting green provided by the Irvine Chamber of Commerce. Girl Scouts of the USA have made technology an integral part of its education program.
Troops can now participate in Internet research projects and earn online badges.
On a local level, Troop 1812 participated in a technology workshop at Chicago's Academy of Science, where they learned about megabytes and gigabytes, according to cadets Katie Special and Alyssa Colletti. These Scouts use the Internet for a variety of uses. On this site, she has created her own boy band and joins discussions on the site's message board. The Scouts use the Net for academic pursuits as well. Most of Michelle Bartosik's web searches are for school, especially for her science class.
