The Program
Girl Scouts in the School Day (GSISD) is a community initiative designed to target underserved areas where Girl Scouts are not available due to socio-economic reasons. GSISD accomplishes this by bringing the Girl Scout program to elementary and middle schools during the school day and after school hours. Council staff and volunteers lead this innovative program. In cooperation with several Central Texas school districts, GSISD delivers alternative methods to teaching TEKS objectives, Relational Aggression, Financial Literacy, and Health and Nutrition.
How the Program Works
GSISD serve economic disadvantage schools in the Austin and Pflugerville area. Elementary schools troops meet during the school day once a week for 45 minuets and Middle schools troops meet before school or during their lunch periods.
The Objective of the Program
- To teach the girls the importance of positive peer relationship, anti-bullying and positive ways to defend them self and others.
- Helping the girls learn and implement key concepts and skills related to personal money management.
- Learn the importance of good nutrition and exercise daily to lessen the effects of childhood obesity and teach them about the ill effects of tobacco and drugs
