- 1.G S K H October and November 2010 Kansas Girl Scouts Journey
to NASA Girls Given the Tools to Start Their Own Astronomy Clubs
Two very lucky Kansas Girl Scouts, accompanied by two local
volunteers ventured to the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in
Greenbelt, MD July 18-23 to learn about NASAs Science Mission
Directorate (SMD). This Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland team,
including Girl Scouts Allison Stukey (Wichita) and Shelbey Logan
(Salina), along with volunteers Fred Gassert and Brindi Stables
were one of only 10 Girl Scout Council teams (out of 109) selected
to participate. These Girl Scouts are now responsible for
organizing at least five trainings with adults and/or older Girl
Scouts, and to form a Girl Scout Astronomy club with the help of a
Girl Scout-NASA core volunteer mentor. Visiting Goddard Space
Center helped me understand the inner-workings of NASA, said
Stukey. This opportunity allowed me to understand the career I
would need to obtain and how to follow my dream and receive a job
at NASA. Left to Right: Allison, Shelbey and Brindi enjoyed a side
trip to the White House. Connect with us OnlineGirl Scouts of

Voice for Girls Girl Scouts Advocate on Behalf of Healthy Media
Images for Girls Did you know that by the time a girl graduates
from high school she will have spent 15K hours watching TV versus
12K hours in school? This does not include the hours spent online,
playing video games, listening to the radio, or reading
magazines!The Girl Scout Research Institutes latest survey, Girls
and Body Image (2010), revealed alarming statistics about teen
girls relationships with the media and fashion industry. Nearly 90
percent of girls surveyed say the media places a lot of pressure on
girls to be thin. 60 percent of girls compare themselves to models.
Body dissatisfaction can result from this comparison, and leads to
serious health problems, such as unhealthyeating and dieting
habits. More than half of girls (55 percent) admit they diet to
lose weight.Over the next couple of years, well be partnering with
GSUSA to bring more awareness about the issue to our members across
Kansas, as well as to the community at large. Well be conducting
community roundtables across the state to inform and educate using
media-awareness activities from the new Journey, Its Your Story,
Tell It during program activities. Stay tuned for more information
about our efforts. Those interested in joining the discussion are
asked to contact Cat Poland at [email protected]. 4. Organization

Silver Award more than a year and a half ago with their advisor
Teresa. They began by cataloging artifacts during the winter months
at the local museum. When it came time to decide what their actual
project would be they spent time researching in their community to
see what needed to be done. After Flying for the First Time looking
at the condition of their local park they decidedEight out of ten
girls and one adult from Parsons had the that it needed the most
work and agreed to take on the opportunity to fly for the very
first time as their troop traveled project. They took pictures of
the play equipment andto Washington D.C. this summer. Many of these
girls had also McKenzie put together a Power Point presentation.
