STUDIO
2B is a limitless space where pre-teen and teen Girl
Scouts become, belong, believe and build. It includes
existing Girl Scout program options, and girls are busy
developing new ways and new combinations.
It
grew out of the New Directions for Girls 11-17 research
conducted by Girl Scouts of the USA in 2001. Thousands of
Girl Scouts and non Girl Scouts from various geographic
locations, race/ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds
were asked what they envisioned as the perfect youth club.
Parents, volunteers and council staff also gave input. The
answers provided the framework for STUDIO 2B.
As
members of STUDIO 2B, girls ages 11-17 voice their
opinions on issues they care about and share their hopes,
dreams, challenges and fears. This is for girls, by girls!
Adults
serve in an advisory role, and the girls� leadership,
ideas and interests are at the forefront. Girls need to
have input on what activities they participate and what
their Girl Scout experience will be. Let your girls know
what STUDIO 2B activities/opportunities are available (see
list to left).
Resources
available to you and your girls are the STUDIO 2B Focus
books, Caddette and Senior Girl Scout handbooks and
Interest Project books, and Leader�s Guides, STUDIO 2B
age-level training,
and Girl Scouts of the USA�s STUDIO
2B Web site.
For this
truly to be for girls, by girls, girls need to let their
voices be heard.
