Girl Scouts Breaks Down Barriers

Hands-on STEM Opportunties

Early introduction to STEM is crucial for the development of our Girl Scouts as we aim to break down gender stereotypes perpetuated in science, technology, engineering, and math careers. We remain committed to the development of new, exciting STEM programming for all ages of Girl Scouts. It is through these activities that Girl Scouts are able to interact and engage in STEM in ways that are fun, approachable, and stimulate creativity.

On April 30, 2022 we celebrated our 10th annual STEM Conference, and for the first time, welcomed our youngest members, Daisies and Brownies, to the event. Hundreds of Girl Scouts and over 30 local partners took over over Camp Cedar Hill for an exciting day of workshops and activities.
