Scheduled Girl Scout Workshops

 

Becoming A Teen*
For girls in the 4th & 5th grades

The journey girls will make to become a teenager is an exciting and challenging one.  At Girls to Women we believe  "She Only Grows Up Once".  This fun and interactive workshop will help girls identify people and resources to guide them on their journey.  Our health experts will have an age appropriate discussion on puberty, including developmental changes and hygiene.

Girls will discover what to expect as their body changes and tips to help them develop daily rituals for skin and hair care.  They will have an opportunity to connect with other girls as they discuss the new responsibilities that tweens face and if the media accurately portrays today’s tweens and teenagers.  

One of the favorite activities in this workshop is the book exchange.  Reading is a great way for girls to take action to help them handle the stress that some teenagers experience.  Girls should bring one of their favorite, gently used books, for the book swap.

Cost: $20

Understanding Yourself & Others*
For Cadettes and Seniors & Ambassadors

Rumors and dramas; peer pressure; sticky friendships – all of these will be covered in this interactive workshop with a GTW counselor.  What does it mean when your friend gives you the look?  Body language can tell you a lot about what someone is trying to tell you.  Work as a group to practice reading what others are communicating when they don’t say a word.

To gain new insights on how to avoid and resolve conflicts with your friends connect with other Girl Scouts and role-play a series of sticky friendship situations and collaborate on possible strategies on how to handle them.

Many girls know about bullying and social aggression – whether they have been targets, by-standers, or bullies themselves.  Why do bullies do it?  What do you do if you witness someone being bullied?  As a group discover what you can do if someone is bullying you and the power that you have to stop bullying before it has a chance to spread.
