你能想像一萬名小女孩一起尖叫的聲浪和分貝嗎？上週末的 Girltopia: the world of girl 現場就有超過一萬名女童軍參加，丫丫園地恭逢盛會，親身體驗了這股強勁的 Girl Power！
女童軍 (Girl Scouts) 成立於1912年，至今已有超過100年歷史，透過許多學習和社會服務活動，培養女生的忠誠、勇氣、關愛、自信、獨立思考和團隊精神。讓人最熟悉的應該是每年的賣曲奇餅籌款活動，相信大家都嚐過不少吧！原來全洛杉磯就有超過 4萬名女童軍，數目十分驚人！

Program Focus Areas
Five program areas serve as the foundation for the Girl Scout Leadership Experience:
- Business Smarts (our Cookie Program)
- Healthy Living
- Environment & Outdoor Adventure
- Science & Technology (STEM: science, technology, engineering and math)
- Arts and Culture
Our program has 15 age-specific outcomes and as the girls progress, they are offered opportunities to lead whenever possible. Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience girls discover themselves, connect with others, and take action to make the world a better place.
Girl Scouts offers a variety of Pathways - ways girls and adults participate - to meet the needs and interests of today's girls.
