Were you a girl scout or do you have a child that is? What do you know about the organization? Chances are that even if you are not a parent of a girl scout, then you know that the organization sells cookies and helps to teach life lessons to young girls.
Girl Scouts now give out STEM badges to further fill the gender gap in math and science.
Girl Scouts benefits girls in many ways.
There has been a little change to the badges that are now available to the young girls. These badges are how the girls learn about the world that we live in and now new badges were launched to push girls towards math and science There are a total of twenty-three new badges being offered.
Middle Georgia troop leader Stacy Brown hopes this will help encourage girls to participate in a field that is traditionally dominated by men.

Key takeaways
- The Girl Scouts are finding new ways to promote math and sciences along the way. These STEM badges are distributed for girls who want to pursue these important fields.
- Observers are glad to see the Girl Scouts encourage participation in math and science. That should direct these girls towards careers related to math and science whenever possible.
- Some Girl Scouts are actually learning the basics of coding using a computer. That is a great step forward for these girls and could give them an edge in a career.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
