That’s because the Fall Product Program introduces girls to the same entrepreneurial skills as the Cookie Program and enhances the development of those skills.

Are you curious about dating? Do you watch romantic movies and wonder if dating is really that easy and simple? Are you curious about how to spot red flags and get out safely, if you find yourself in an uncomfortable or unsafe situation? Are you curious about what love really looks like? Are you curious about the difference between love and romance? Are you curious about how to see through some of the more common lies people tell in a relationship? Are you curious about how to determine where your boundaries are, and how to communicate them to a partner? Are you curious about healthy relationships? Are you curious about how to date safely? These are the topics Seniors and Ambassadors will be discussing in our third installment of Tools for Independence: Older Girl Edition Health and Safety Series on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at 4 p.m.  Joining us will be Valerie Weaver LCSW, from Girl Scouts of Greater New York. Valerie is a social worker on the Troop 6000 team in New York City, where she helps girls ages five-17 living in homeless shelters. She specializes in working with children, adolescents, and families. Girl Scouts of Colorado is thrilled to have her join us in this discussion. Register here: https://www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org/en/events-repository/2020/september_2020_tools.html Participation in this discussion satisfies Step Four of the Ambassador Safety Award. Parent Notes: We are keeping the language/conversation as gender neutral as possible. We support ALL girls regardless of orientation, and we want ALL girls to be in safe and healthy relationships. We are coming from a fact/evidence-based perspective. It is not our intent to scare girls into not dating, but to give them tools they can use in high school, and adulthood, to make sure that when they do date, they are in safe, healthy, loving relationships. We will stress that they need to stay within the boundaries that the adults in their household have set, in addition to setting their own boundaries.
