Girl Scouting in the School Day
This 12-week Girl Scout program serves nearly 1,000 6th – 8th grade girls in Tyler ISD once a week during school day PE or health classes. Schools are in communities where traditional troops have difficulty establishing due to a lack of financial resources, transportation, and volunteers. In partnership with schools and nonprofits, the Girl Scouting in the School Day program leverages the Girl Scout curriculum to help girls develop strong social and emotional skills while working to complement academic learning and reduce learning loss. These school-based Girl Scout troops provide an educational framework to prepare girls for life’s challenges, now and in the future, developing essential competencies such as self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Girls participate in interactive groups, community service projects, field trips, discussions, and confidence and character-building activities that they are unlikely to encounter elsewhere.
