We are at Camp Lacamaga today and this is our 3rd day of Power Girls camp and so we have Opus, um, and Ryan partnering with us to build *** mini golf course with some of our youngest Girl Scouts. *** lot of folks think about Girl Scouts and they think Cookies, camps and Crafts, and we are so much more than that. This is like *** supercharged craft though when I think about it. We really want to make sure that we're exposing girls to all their potential pathways and so when you think about the trades and using your hands and getting creative, we want to make sure that we're exposing our girls early to what that looks like. You see them first kind of get. Discouraged and feel like they don't want to participate and then you give them just that little pointer to make it easier and then when they do it successfully like their whole attitude changes and they want to do the next one, do the next one. It's like *** lot of steps to it and *** lot of measuring and there's like it takes *** lot of time and perseverance you get to like learn how to use stuff that can maybe like help you in the future. Girl power is really strong today. They're learning confidence. They're also working as *** team. They're doing problem solving. They're learning how to read plans, which is great for their spatial awareness, and, and I'd say confidence really is the most uh the most fun to watch is all women like there's only probably one male in here. So that shows that women can power anything it's kind of really scary because you can take *** risk that you wouldn't really like usually do it like really shows that any gender could do anything and that we're all powerful and we can all do something that's out of our comfort zone.
