<b>Katie
Adams</b> of <b>Troop 40146</b> in Atascadero has recently completed her Gold Award
project. Partnering with Twin Cities Community Hospital, Katie transformed an
underutilized patio space into a Tranquility Garden for hospital staff and
visitors to enjoy. The outdoor retreat was unveiled on Saturday, October 6<sup>th</sup>,
2018, coinciding with the Birth and Family Fair event.<o:p></o:p></div>

aspired to earn Gold once she entered high school. Katie began her project over

engineers to create this space. Master Gardener, Nikki Edwards, helped Katie
design plans for the patio, select appropriate plants, and establish a water
system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

“My
project allowed for patients and nursing staff of the OB unit to have access to
an outside space that was beautiful and relaxing. The Tranquility Terrace
allows for expecting mothers to walk during labor, for long term patients to
enjoy outdoors, and for young children a safe space to play that does not interfere
with the hospital or staff. It is a project that I am proud of and know that
will provide joy to many patients in years to come,” says Katie. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Girl Scouts of <b>Troop 60137</b> in Westlake Village have recently
earned their Silver Awards with their project, “Crayons for Kids – Not Landfills.”
After recognizing that hundreds of crayons a year are thrown away at schools
and popular restaurants, contributing to landfills, the girls set out to turn
waste into a resource.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette
(grades 6-8) can earn. Girls can elect to work towards their Silver Award individually
or in a group, with projects typically clocking in at a minimum of 50 hours of
labor. After identifying an issue that is important to them, Scouts can develop
a Take Action project with the intention of “making the world a better place.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Girl Scouts <b>Lara P., Simran N., Abigail M.,
Shaylee M.,</b> and <b>Jessica H.</b> took action within their community to prevent
non-biodegradable crayons from ending up in landfills. Visiting local schools,
restaurants, libraries, and play centers, the girls collected as many unusable
crayon stubs as possible with the intention of repurposing them. They set out
to educate staff members on this environmental issue and placed crayon
collection containers at each location. The stubs were then peeled and melted
down to create new crayons, which were donated to children’s hospitals in addition
to a coloring book that the troop created. <o:p></o:p></div>

Using leadership skills such as goal setting, decision
making, communication, and business ethics, the girls tackled an environmental
issue while serving others in need. By creating target goals for crayon
collections, reaching out to businesses and schools about distribution, and
creating a financial plan for shipping excess crayons, these Girl Scouts were
able to obtain important life lessons.<o:p></o:p></div>

Troop leader Wendy Prust says, “The girls discovered that
they could speak for themselves and learned to ask for favors from people. They
are quiet, thoughtful girls and putting themselves out in front of adults and
asking for things was a great experience for them.” <o:p></o:p></div>

Hey Troop Leaders! We’d like to take a moment to thank you
for helping girls today become leaders of tomorrow. After a long summer, the
new Girl Scout Membership Year officially started on October 1<sup>st</sup>.
This means all whole new year of projects, activities, and possibilities lie
ahead! Whether your troop has new or seasoned members, here are some ways to
get the ball rolling and the girls feeling ready to go. Don’t forget to <a href="http://www.girlscoutsccc.org/en/about-girl-scouts/Renew.html">renew</a>
your Girl Scout membership if you have not already!<o:p></o:p></div>
<br /><br />
<h3>
<span style="color: purple;">Meet and Greet </span></h3>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even if your troop has primarily returning members, there
may be some first day jitters that you and girls experience. Ease everyone into
the new year with some of these tips! <o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Set
the Tone – The first meeting will set the rest of the year up for success, so
make everyone feel welcome! Establish a connection by calling each girl by
name, acknowledging their questions, and sharing your own experiences.</li>
<li>Have
Some Fun – Use a game or activity to get things in motion. Try out one of the
icebreakers below to get the girls interacting with you and one another.</li>
<li>Mix
it Up – Cliques aren’t fun for anyone! Encourage girls to make new friends in
the troop by assigning rotating buddies or pulling names out of a hat for group
work.</li>
<li>Ask
the Girls – Check what the troop’s goals for the year are and create a game
plan. Whether it be a trip they want to take or what type of community service
project to do, girl involvement is the key to success. For activity and

Ice breakers are a great way to get your girls engaged and
participating, and to learn a new thing or two about your troop members. Try
one of these fun activities <span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">to
get started.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Wipe That Smile Off Your Face </li>
<ul>
<li>Have the girls sit in a circle and pick one
person to start the game.</li>
<li>That person will smile their wildest, biggest,
silliest smile at everyone else in the circle (while staying silent), trying to
make them laugh.</li>
<li> For every girl in the circle who laughs at their
smile, they get one point.</li>
<li>After smiling at everyone in the group, they
‘wipe’ the smile off their face with their hand and ‘pass’ the smile to the
next girl in the circle.</li>
</ul>
<li>Two Truths and a Lie </li>
<ul>
<li>Have the girls sit in a circle and write down three statements about themselves. Two statements will be true and one will be false. </li>
<li>Take turns having each girl present their statements, and vote on which statement the rest of the group thinks is false. </li>
</ul>
<li>Mix and Meet (The M&Ms Game) </li>
<ul>
<li>Take a bag of M&Ms and tell everyone to grab a handful. </li>
<li>Assign a different category to each color, such as blue = family, green = school, yellow = friends, red = pets, and so on. </li>
<li>However many M&Ms a girl has in her hand is the number of facts they have to share about themselves. </li>
</ul>
<li>Toss the String </li>
<ul>
<li>Have the girls form a circle, and one girl will start with a ball of yarn. Holding on to the end of the string, she will call out another girl's name and toss the yarn to her. </li>
<li>The girl who catches the ball will call out someone else's name and toss the ball to her while holding on to part of the string. </li>
<li>After creating a spider web with the string, ask one girl to pull on the string while everyone else holds on. How many girls can feel the tug? This is a great way to talk to your troop about the importance of group cooperation and an individual's contribution to the whole team.</li>

Shelby O’Neil of our very own Girl Scouts of California’s Central
Coast has been named a 2018 National Gold Award Girl Scout, the highest award a

founded the nonprofit Jr Ocean Guardians to combat waste and defend the
environment. Initiating a movement called No Straw November, she encouraged
people who don’t medically need a straw to reject unnecessary plastic straws
during November, because they’re a main source of ocean pollution. As a result

convincing a leading airline to formally discontinue its use of non-recyclable

notable environmental activists, has eliminated the use of millions of plastic
straws and promoted reusable alternatives.</span><br />

<br />
As Girl Scouts, we are dedicated to building girls of
courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. October
is National Bullying Prevention Month, which brings communities together across
the nation to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention. Studies show
that <a href="https://www.stopbullying.gov/media/facts/index.html">1 in 4 U.S.
students</a> have been bullied at school, and 71% of young people say they have
seen bullying in their schools. So how do you know when someone is being
bullied, and how do you stop it?<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">What We Know</span><span style="color: purple;"> </span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bullying is defined by the Center for Disease Control and
Department of Education as “unwanted aggressive behavior; observed or perceived
power imbalance; and repetition of behaviors or high likelihood of repetition.”
These types of behaviors can happen in any number of places, contexts, or
locations, including at school or even online. Electronic bullying, or
cyberbullying, typically occurs using phones, email, instant messaging, and
online posts. Types of bullying can include:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Name calling </li>
<li>Teasing </li>
<li>Spreading rumors or lies </li>
<li>Pushing, hitting, or kicking </li>
<li>Leaving out </li>
<li>Threatening </li>
<li>Stealing belongings </li>
</ul>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bullying affects everyone, including those who are bullied,
those who bully others, and those who see bullying going on. Individuals that
are bullied are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, increased
feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and
decreased academic achievement and school participation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;">What We Can Do</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s easy to see that bullying does harm to everyone
involved. So now that we know what bullying looks like, what exactly can we do
to stop it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li> Speak
up! Although it might feel uncomfortable to intervene, saying something as
simple as “this isn’t cool or funny,” or “stop treating her like that,” to a
bully is often enough to stop them in their tracks. If speaking up seems too
hard or not safe, you can opt to laugh it off or simply walk away.</li>
<li>Be a friend. It
is important to support whoever is being bullied by letting them know you don’t
agree with what is being said, and that you will help to keep it from happening
again. Act as a positive role model for others by treating everyone with
kindness and respect.</li>
<li>Tell an adult. Sometimes
walking away or avoiding a bully isn’t enough, and it is important that an
authority figure is aware of the situation to keep it from happening again.</li>
<li>Take action. Talk
to your teacher or principal about getting involved at school. Start a safety
committee, make posters about bullying, plan an informational skit, or discuss
customizing your school’s anti-bullying policy.</li>
</ol>
Remember, bullying is no one’s
fault but the bully. No one ever deserves to be mistreated, and as Girl Scouts
we know the importance of respecting ourselves and others. Always stop and
think before you say or do something that could hurt someone, whether that be
at home, in school, or online. After all, our differences are what makes us all
special!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Practice creating a community of respect this Friday, October 5, for National Do Something Nice Day. Whether that mean including someone by inviting them to eat lunch with you or making a new friend in class, every action you take can build a more positive environment for yourself and the world around you.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Girl Scouts of California’s Central
Coast (GSCCC) and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced that a new cookie,
Caramel Chocolate Chip, will join the 2019 Girl Scout Cookie<sup>®</sup> season
lineup, as a gluten-free offering with limited availability in select areas.
More than just delicious cookies, the Girl Scout Cookie Program<sup>®</sup>
fuels girls’ development of entrepreneurial and essential life skills, and the
cookie earnings power amazing experiences for girl members. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The largest girl-led
entrepreneurial program in the world, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is proven
to help the majority of girl participants develop five essential life and
business skills, fostering the next generation of women who are entrepreneurs
and business leaders. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">A recent <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.girlscouts.org/content/dam/girlscouts-gsusa/forms-and-documents/cookie/GSUSA_2016-Cookie-Skills-Fact-Sheet.pdf">Girl
Scout Research Institute study</a></span> found that 85 percent of girls
surveyed learned how to set goals and meet deadlines, 88 percent became
effective decision-makers, 88 percent learned to manage money, 85 percent
gained people skills, and 94 percent learned business ethics—all through the
Girl Scout Cookie Program. Two out of three girls surveyed (66 percent)
developed all five skills while doing amazing things for themselves and their
communities. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Each
and every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies—100 percent of the net revenue, which
stays local—is an investment in girls and their leadership capabilities, both
now and in the future. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">And
Girl Scouts in the Ventura County area are able to do incredible things thanks
to their cookie earnings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“The Girl
Scout Cookie Program plays a powerful role in developing financially savvy girl
leaders,” said GSUSA CEO Sylvia Acevedo. “Girl entrepreneurs learn valuable
interpersonal and business skills via the cookie program that help them become
successful in their future careers, no matter what path they choose. My
experience selling Girl Scout Cookies taught me to be creative, enterprising,
and persistent, and helped me build self-confidence and resilience. When you
buy Girl Scout Cookies you are not only helping girls become business
trailblazers, you’re also helping them power their Girl Scout adventures and
ensuring they have access to the cutting-edge leadership experiences and
opportunities that only Girl Scouts can offer.” </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Girl Scouts of California’s Central
Coast will offer the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie, which joins
classics like the Thin Mints<sup>®</sup>, Caramel deLites<sup>®</sup>, and
Shortbread varieties. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Caramel
Chocolate Chip features rich caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a hint of
sea salt in a chewy cookie. The new cookie is offered only in select Girl Scout
council markets for as long as supplies last, and it can only be purchased from
a registered Girl Scout. <span style="mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Like other
similar consumer products, gluten-free cookies may be priced higher than other
Girl Scout Cookies, reflecting the cost of production.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

Scouts ages 5–18 that not only enhance the one-of-a-kind Girl Scout experience,
but also address some of society’s most pressing needs, such as cybersecurity,
environmental advocacy, mechanical engineering, robotics, computer science, and
space exploration. In a safe all-girl space, Girl Scouts develop important soft
skills, including confidence and perseverance, as well as hard skills, setting
them up for success and preparing them to take action for a better world.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

We’re dedicated to building that critical STEM workforce pipeline that businesses and communities across the country are looking for. Girls are our country’s greatest untapped resource and are the key to our nation’s competitive advantage in the digital economy we’re living in. They’ll be the drivers and the designers of our industries of the future, filling and creating jobs that don’t even exist yet. And at Girl Scouts, we’re preparing girls for these opportunities.”</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">April is National Volunteer Month! Celebrate your favorite Girl Scout volunteers with these thoughtful ideas! Whether you choose to do one activity or all, you’re sure to make the volunteers in your life feel loved and appreciated and remember all the reasons why they continue to give their time and hearts to the Girl Scout mission. <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b>1. Send a personalized ecard! </b>Who doesn’t love a fun ecard?
This month, show the Girl Scout volunteer in your life—your Girl Scout
VIP!—just how much they mean to you by choosing from one of four awesome
predesigned ecard templates. Just fill in the blank to finish the
sentence (keep it short and sweet, please!) and share your ecard with
them on Facebook, on Twitter, or by email—SWEET! <a href="http://www.girlscouts.org/ShareThanks">Get started</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Shout them out on social media! </b>What better way to make
your favorite Girl Scout volunteer feel special than to shout ‘em out
for the world to know? They’re the best, and you’re proud to say it loud
and clear: I love my Girl Scout volunteer! <br />
<br />
During National Volunteer Week (April 15–21), head on over to your
favorite social media pages and share why this volunteer (or
volunteers!) is so special to you. Make sure to tag @girlscouts and
include the hashtag #NVW2018 so we can follow the love.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. Write them a handwritten letter! </b>That’s right. Imagine
their surprise when they open their mailbox and find an old-school
letter from you. Need a little inspiration? Here are a few things you
could include:</span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why your favorite Girl Scout volunteer is so special</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An especially memorable time when you were happy to have their guidance and support</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How they have made a difference in your life</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your three favorite things about them </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
<b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>4. Buy them something special from the Girl Scout Shop!</b> Shop our online store, GSCCC's <a href="http://www.girlscoutshop.com/CALIFORNIAS-CENTRAL-COAST-COUNCIL" target="_blank">Girl Scout Shop</a>,
and bring a smile to a volunteer’s face with a fun little token of your
appreciation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Know someone who isn’t a Girl Scout volunteer but would make a great
one? Use one (or more!) of these thoughtful appreciation ideas to let
them know <a href="http://www.girlscouts.org/volunteer" target="_blank">how they could make a lasting difference in girls’ lives today</a>!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are so many ways to stand up and make your voice heard so you express the values you care about in your community. Every day, Girl Scouts are fearlessly taking civic action to make the world a better place. <br /><br />Want to make a difference? Here are five ideas: <br /><br />1. <b>Get educated.</b> Go to a town or city council meeting to find out what kinds of things people are unhappy about. You might learn about a local issue that sparks your interest and inspires you to make change. Go for it! <br /><br />2. <b>Organize.</b> Mobilize communities to donate, volunteer, or advocate for causes important to you. <br /><br />3.<b> Disrupt.</b> There’s no need to accept the status quo. Stand up against everyday injustices, challenge unfair policies, and champion causes you believe in. Taking part in letter-writing campaigns and creating petitions that call for change are great ways to get involved. <br /><br />4. <b>Speak out.</b> Call, write, or meet with public officials and community leaders to educate them about important issues. <br /><br />5. <b>Get in the race.</b> If you’re a girl, run for student council. If you’re a woman, lead by example and consider running for elected office.<br /><br />The G.I.R.L. Agenda Powered by Girl Scouts is a nonpartisan initiative to inspire, prepare, and mobilize girls and those who care about them to lead positive change through civic action.
