No Girl Left Inside is getting girls connected with the outdoors, but there’s more…

We bring together girls from all over Southern Arizona to discover, connect and take action. Girls explore their passions, develop new skills, make new friends and expand horizons. Girls succeed. Girls fully participate and contribute to our society. We help build the inner foundation that makes girls whole. We are leaders. Find out how you can experience the movement by visiting http://girlscoutssouthernarizona.org.

Sow What?

I want to share a great success!  Richelle, a lifetime Girl Scout in Casa Grande, led 2 groups at the PPEP Tec Casa Grande through the Sow What? Journey.  For their final project, they made food baskets and cookbooks to be donated to the Against Abuse Crisis Center.

Can we fight Obesity and Save the Planet at the same time?

ABSOLUTELY!! Just submitted the United Health Heroes grant application. If we get it, we will use the money to educate about childhood obesity and how to fight it… on a bike! Throughout the Semester of Service, the girls will learn about healthy eating and exercise while training and getting in shape for a Girl Scout style Tour de Tucson and Bike Rodeo! We will hold bicycle drives around town and purchase more bikes with the grant money. Bikes will go to families who can’t afford them, children who need them and will also be used to implement a Bike Sharing program I’ve been wanting to get off the ground for a while now! The Bike Sharing would start off small- probably be limited to Girl Scouts for a while. So, girls and troops could check out the bikes from the council office and use them for mountain biking, biking around the city, getting to and from school and getting fit! All the while, we will be educating about how riding a bike saves your lungs from nasty fumes that are produced by cars, saving our kids, our community and our planet! I am soooo Excited! We are also working on building a stationary bike that you can plug into small appliances… can you imagine powering your washing machine by just pedaling? Or charging your laptops and cell phones? How amazing would that be?!

Starcatchers adopt Palo Verde Park
