Music has always been one of the most powerful ways for people to connect, no matter their skill level, or instrument. My passion for music inspired me to create the Inspiring Young Musicians Club (IYMC) as part of my Girl Scout Gold Award project. I wanted to build a community that supported each other and had the same love and passion for music that I do. This club is student-led, where young musicians can come together, share a passion, and inspire each other. When I started IYMC, I noticed that many students enjoyed music but didn’t always have access the community to inspire them to continue their musical journey into high school, IYMC was created to encourage students to follow that path. It gives students a place to connect, play, and grow together. As part of the project’s sustainability, I designed a website that gives information on how to start an IYMC in any school ! On the site, students can: Learn how to start their own club at their school or community. Access tips and tricks to help students give each other feedback on their playing. Find different fun activities to do at their club meetings! The website makes it possible for IYMC to keep growing after my project ends. It gives every student the tools they need to lead and organize a club similar to IYMC. My hope is that IYMC continues to connect students through their love for music, helping them grow in their talents, provide leadership experience, and confidence in sharing their creativity with others. Music has given me so much, and with this project, I hope to pass that same joy and opportunity on to others.

Girl Scouts and their families had the chance to meet Sara Johnsen, private pilot and Colorado Girl Scout alumni last Saturday. They got to explore McAir Aviation’s flight school, sit in a real plane, and ask Sara questions about her career! Sara, a standards captain, earned her pilot license at McAir. Girl Scouts of Colorado got to do an exclusive interview with Johnsen about how Girl Scouts inspired her and to help the next generation of Girl Scouts get an understanding of flying. GSCO: What got you interested in flying planes? Johnsen: “My dad had a friend who had a hangar across the way over here. He had an old fighter jet, and I grew up around that plane. I thought it would be cool to learn how to fly it, so I took a discovery flight and fell in love (with flying).” GSCO: What skills or values from Girl Scouts have helped you most in your aviation career? Johnsen: “I definitely gained a lot of confidence being a Girl Scout, and I use that a lot being a female aviator.” [CS1]   GSCO: What are you most excited to share with Girl Scouts today? Johnsen: “I was really excited to show them that women can be pilots too, and even though you don’t live near an airport, you can still become a pilot.” GSCO: Were there any challenges you faced on your way to becoming a pilot? How did you overcome them? Johnsen: “There’s a lot of studying involved and a lot of learning all at once, so it was a little overwhelming at first. If you stay consistent with studying it, I promise you’ll get the hang of it!” GSCO: What advice would you share with Girl Scouts who are curious about a career in aviation? Johnsen: “Definitely look at taking a discovery flight at your local airport at a flight school, and then start taking lessons from there.” GSCO: What’s one of your favorite memories from flying, whether it was your first solo flight or something unexpected in the air? Johnsen: “St. Barts checkout as a captain was very cool, first time ever landing there with passengers.” Landing at St. Barts is one of the toughest runway challenges in the world, making this an incredible accomplishment. GSCO: What do you love most about your career? Johnsen: “I love traveling to new places and being able to fly myself there.”   A big thank you to Sara Johnsen and McAir Aviation for inspiring our Colorado Girl Scouts and showing them that the sky isn’t the limit, it’s just the beginning!

After searching through the Anytime Activities, on Saturday, my Ambassador troop and I drove two hours south to the small town of Penrose, Colo. to take part in the Space Science Badge with the Estes Rockets Cosmic club. My troop had a great time learning about other planets, real time NOAA satellite data, and women working at NASA. They also learned about the history of Estes Rockets, and got to launch model rockets at the end. It was great for them to learn about space, the careers surrounding it, and have a fun hands-on activity at the end! Estes Rockets has programs for all levels, but it is always great when my troop finds an activity that they still think is fun and keeps them engaged in Girl Scouts as they get older!

The leaves are turning, the evenings are cooler, and the smell of pumpkin spice fills the air. You know what that means, right? It's time for Girl Scouts to party! In honor of Girl Scouts founder, Juliette Gordon Low, the Grizzly Gulch Service Unit 641 is excited to throw our second annual Birthday and Halloween Bash at the Littleton Skate City. We started this tradition last year and had so much fun, we decided to do it again. This year we want everyone to join in the fun with us. We are inviting Girl Scouts from all over the Denver Metro area to bring their friends and families to come out and celebrate, too! Consider this your invitation! Here’s what you need to know: When: Wednesday, Oct. 29, 4 - 6 p.m. Where: Skate City (5801 S Lowell Way, Littleton, CO 80123) Cost: Pay at the door - $7 to skate and $5 skate rentals RSVP: There is an optional registration page in the GSCO Events calendar. Registration is not required, but helpful (so that we know how much birthday cake to bring!) Two options to level-up the celebration: Wear a Halloween costume! Win fabulous prizes! Bring a “birthday gift.” New toys and children’s books will be donated to the Englewood Family Resource Center in Juliette Gordon Low’s name. The Englewood Family Resource Center serves families that need a little extra help. Gifts do not need to be wrapped, but they will be greatly appreciated. Donated gifts earn an extra ticket for door prizes! Who’s invited? EVERYBODY! Bring your family. Bring a friend. Bring your friend’s friend! The more the merrier. Party-goers are not required to be Girl Scouts or even girls. We are really serious about EVERYBODY. Last year a family read their school’s skate party flier wrong and showed up at our party by mistake. We insisted they join us, anyway. Their son even won a prize! We hope you can join us to celebrate Juliette Gordon Low’s special birthday party! Please note that this party is not a drop-off event. All girls should be accompanied by caregivers or troop volunteers, and safety ratios should be followed.
