Our Vision at GGC is a better world, by girls. And it makes sense since the core of the Guiding movement has always been active citizenship. As girls learn who they are and what they can do, their motivation to take positive action in the world is inevitable. In May, we are exploring the fifth and final pillar of girl-driven Guiding: engage community. Girls in Guiding are supported in identifying local issues that matter to them, engaging in their communities through service, and learning about their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Through these experiences, girls in Guiding ......Â
A rock hound is an amateur collector of rocks and minerals. Becoming a rock hound is easy (just pick up a rock!), but here are a few ideas to get you started on your rock collection. WHICH ROCKS TO COLLECT You can base your collection on color, shape, texture or anything that you find interesting. Many rock hounds try to collect all the related rocks from the area where they live. Others look for unusual rocks from places they visit. As your collection and interest grows, you can start to learn more about different rock classifications. WHERE TO ......Â

By Jill Zelmanovits, CEO and Keynote Listener, Girl Guides of CanadaWhether they’re life guarding, scooping ice cream or babysitting, a job can seem like a pretty great way for a teenage girl to spend her summer. Meeting friends, building up her resume and adding to her bank account – what could be better? Well it turns out that a girl’s summer job can also come with workplace hazards like harassment and getting paid less than the boys she works with. As our new report Girls on the Job reveals, 13% of girls ages 12-18 experience sexual ......Â
There’s a reason only about 10% of applicants get accepted into West Point each year. The U.S. Military Academy takes only the best of the best: men and women who are physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. That explains why Michael Norris, an Eagle Scout from Red Bank, S.C., will join the academy’s Class of 2023 later this year. Norris, a product of Troop 518 of the Indian Waters Council, says the topic of Scouting came up in all four West Point interviews. But it wasn’t the “Eagle Scout†name that did it. It was what those 10 letters ......Â
In a series about the nation’s best thru-hikes, it seems obvious to start with what is possibly the country’s most well-known hiking destination — the Appalachian Trail. One of America’s most iconic footpaths, the Appalachian Trail travels nearly 2, 200 miles between Georgia and Maine. Completing the entirety of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in one trip is a mammoth undertaking. Each year thousands of people head north from the trail’s southern-most point in an attempt to hike the whole trail in one year, but only one-fourth of them finish the journey, according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. ......
