About
Girl development: Over 32,000 girls participated in the Girl Scout leadership experience through a variety of pathways (troop, camp, one-day events, series, travel, and virtual). Adapted to an urban landscape, the council also delivered programming in four focal areas: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); business and entrepreneurship; outdoor education and adventure; and leadership. Over 12,000 managed their own Girl Scout cookie businesses, selling over 1.3 million boxes of cookies. 3,495 participated in the council's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) experiences in 2019. This includes multi-week programs focused on math and robotics; one-day events at the Museum of Math, the Museum of the Moving Image and the New York Hall of Science; Breaking the Code, the council's week-long coding camp that combines JavaScript coding, filmmaking, and the leadership competencies central to Girl Scouting; and various STEM activities, opportunities, and events presented to New York City troops. 1,676 girls enhanced their personal leadership skills while participating in leadership development workshops, Journey Express Days (curriculum provided by Girl Scouts USA), one-day career development workshops, and the 2019 cohort of the Leadership Institute presented by Girl Scouts of Greater New York (140 girls). Additionally, 30 eligible Girl Scouts at the council received college scholarships. 66 girls earned the Girl Scout Gold Award and 190 girls earned their Silver Award - these are the highest recognitions that girls can earn in Girl Scouting, earned by completing projects that improve their communities in sustainable ways. The council continued expansion of the Troop 6000 program to provide Girl Scouting in homeless shelters to over 500 members across 18 shelter sites. Participants attended sleepaway camp at Camp Kaufmann as well as urban day camp in NYC. They also participated in Girl Scout World Thinking Day in February, sold cookies at the Kellogg's Cafe in April, enjoyed a Mothers' Day celebration in May, and participated in troop activities where they earned badges through weekly meetings.
