The Girl Scouts of USA created the Financial Empowerment K-12 Program to help girls develop financial literacy skills with on-line curriculum, online learning and the Girl Scout Cookie Program again promoting ‘Discover, Connect and Take Action’. The Empowerment program cultivates “Girls learn to handle money and be self-reliant, they are also learning how to bring their own values to the business world and how to use their time, talent, and resources (including money!) to make the world a better place.” (Girl Scouts, 2016) The five areas that the Financial Empowerment focus on are: The Girl Scout Cookie Program, The Girls Scout Cookie Business Curriculum, The Girl Scout Financial Literacy Curriculum, The Girls Scout Entrepreneurship Program …show more content…
Gordon Low wrote a handbook for her patrol (known today as troop) and she obtain most of the material for the handbook from British Girl Guide Manual that she brought from England. The handbook was title “How Girls Can Help Their Country”. The copy and edition that will be referenced in this paper is by W. J. Hoxie. (1972) Mr. Hoxie was an American naturalist. The handbook has six parts: Summary, Camping, Home Life, Hospital Work, Patriotism and Organization. (Hoxie, 1972) There are very interesting paragraphs on a variety of topics like “Open-Air Pursuits” or “Housewifery.” When reading the handbook, it is best to remember when the handbook was written and for whom. There is more content in the handbook that is sustainable today than unrealistic. The opening forward from Mrs. Gordon Low “If character training and learning citizenship are necessary for boys, how much more important it is that these principles should be instilled into the minds of girls who are destined to be the mothers and guides of the next generation. …. Honor, duty, loyalty, kindness, comradeship, purity, cheerfulness, and thrift, are the qualities it seeks to develop. To be a Girl Scout, a girl should love and admire these things in other people, seek to attain them herself, and promote them among her comrades, no in any priggish fashion, but through being loyal, honorable, kind and helpful, in the home, in the school, in the field, on the playground, and in the Club Room.” (Hoxie, 1972, p. vii) Mrs. Gordon Low desire to bring girls together to be helpful to each other and their country in an environment that would promote goodwill. In a time when equality was still in debate and segregation was abundant, Mrs. Gordon ask her Captains (today known as Troop Leaders) “Hate nothing but sin.” (Hoxie, 1972, p. 2) Today the Girl Scout have taken the same vision and promoted it with The Three Keys to Leadership though various journeys experiences. The National Leadership Journeys
The role of females (regardless of loyalties) shifted dramatically from household partners to that of logisticians, medical and intelligence. While we are provided the details of camp followers and sutlers which have been part of military life since time immemorial, women took on various roles that were not explicitly conceived of in the
The 1960s in America was a decade filled with controversy and calls for change. During John F. Kennedy’s time as president, an era of protest and rebellion was underway. Race riots, anti-war protests, and an uptick in drug usage plagued the lifestyles of many Americans. Lyndon B. Johnson ascended to presidency as a result of Kennedy’s assassination, and unfortunately inherited these problems. Johnson was successful working with domestic social and economic issues, but the inability to deal with the Vietnam and the political scheme scheme as a whole stained his resume as an effective president.
When a child has a disability or impairment, one of the biggest concerns is how those issues will affect that child’s education. Because of this concern, there are laws and contracts in place for children and their families to make sure they are legally guaranteed an education. Part B, Part C, and 504 plans are law ensuring services for students with disabilities or impairments to assure that these students get the accommodations or modifications they need to get the best education they can.
Furthermore, some women enlisted in the armies disguised as males, others found they could contribute their service to the war through acting as scouts. For those women that enlisted, changing their dress was only a small fraction of the work required to blend in to their brigade. Hiding all feminine characteristics including the ways, in which they walked, talked, sat, and acted was necessary to avoid detection (Eggleston 2). An abundance of radical periodicals and writings intended for a female audience emerged at the beginning of the war (Endres 32). With ample encouragement women found it within their interests to take an active role in the fight. Some, including Elizabeth Van Lew, simply desired for the feuding between the regions to end and found espionage to be their contribution (Kane 235). In “Companions of Crisis: The Spy Memoir as a Social Document”, Curtis Carroll Davis depicts the female scouts perceiving their duty to their country to be through espionage. Surprisingly, men, including fathers and other patriarchal figures, actively sought the help of their female kin to play an active role in the war through espionage. For instance, the father of Antonia Ford encouraged his daughter to entertain and extract information from Union officers on behalf of the Confederate cause (Eggleston 97). The passion for liberty was undoubtedly just as
1. Describe two examples of important things that financial planning skills can help you do, and explain why these things are important to you personally. (4-6 sentences. 2.0 points)
The boy scouts in Preston Connelly’s 2nd Foreign Volunteer Legion, in addition to their roles as Vanguard and Reservist, were given new roles in form of Grenadier and Leicht, because of 2nd FVL possessing a high amount of members with exceptional degrees of perception and meticulous attention toward detail. Their female equivalents in Gudruna Hurley’s 1st Foreign Volunteer Legion, also Vanguard and Reservist, were instead given additional training as Jackbooters and
The women living in rural areas were still expected to serve as housewives who tended to their children’s and husband’s every need. “The average wife and mother’s situation” (source 4) included, but was not limited to “cooking, cleaning, laundering, sewing, meal planning, weekday chauffeuring, social secretarial service, and complete care of [her] children” (source 4). Even women who were trained in professional fields, such as nursing or law, were rid of their intelligence and abilities and were engulfed in the responsibilities of domestic life. Women in the army during World War II experienced great levels of discrimination and were looked down upon by the men in the army. Genevieve Chasm, a lieutenant in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps
Juliette was just doing what she thought was right, as a result, she inspired many young girls to follow in her footsteps. “ [Backenstoe] became a troop leader in East Allentown, then the craft leader at the Mountain House day camp in Allentown and Camp Mosey Wood near White Haven, Luzerne County. During the 1950s, Backenstoe taught leather crafts, copper enameling and ceramics to the girls. Eventually, she was named camp director and lived at Camp Mosey Wood during the summer” (Negley). Backenstoe did all of these amazing events because it was something she wanted and was inspired to do. This shows one of the many ways Low has influenced girls. She has influenced Backenstoe to do what she loves and to go after her dreams. Something that she might not have done without being in Low’s scouts. Low was inspiring young girls to grow up to do whatever they pleased to do and she was giving girls the tools they needed to do what they sat their minds to. “During a time when women were training to be housewives and mothers, Low was teaching the importance of independent living, service to others and preparation for careers. She was able to break down the wall that restricted women and taught girls how to succeed at any endeavor” (Crichlow). She didn’t care about what girls were supposed to
In a 1944 magazine article, Eleanor Roosevelt claimed that American “women are serving actively in many ways in this war [World War II], and they are doing a grand job on both the fighting front and the home front.”1 While many women did indeed join the workforce in the 1940s, the extent and effects of their involvement were as contested during that time as they are today. Eleanor Roosevelt was correct, however, in her evaluation of the women who served on the fighting front. Although small in number due to inadequate recruitment, the women who left behind their homes and loved ones in order to enlist in the newly established Women’s Auxiliary Army Corp (WAAC), and later the Women’s Army Corps (WAC), were deemed invaluable to the war
For the past 107 years, boys have only been allowed to be a “Boy Scout.” After many years of requests from girls and their families, the tradition has been broken. This is very important because though the 1920s saw a great deal of change for women, in 2017 they are still not fully supported and respected. The Girl Scout Organization has an issue with this newfound decision because they fear they will lose members to the Boy Scouts. Traditionalist parents also have an issue with this because they think that the two groups should stay separate due to the different ideologies the two groups focus on.
What is the analogous for-profit statement called? What are the main sections of the statement of operations?
In the beginning, our Government was against involving women in our military forces. Before the war, it was commonly thought that a working man was the main provider in a household. Therefore, any woman who took a job that was known to society as a “man’s job” was stealing work from another man and his family (Roles). Knowing this, our government mildly discouraged women who had wanted to work for the army; until they

They are like the Boy Scouts except the Boy Scouts attempt and practice more "manly" activities like fire building and rifle shooting while the Girl Scouts focus on the more "woman" side of things like knitting, first aid, and managing money. This is what sparked the movement for the introduction of women into the Boy Scouts. The girls wanted to do things like build shelters and make fire. This leads you to think that Girl Scouts would be happy with the changes, but it is quite the opposite. The Girl Scouts want girls for the same reasons that Boy Scouts want boys. They need to be around the same gender to feel comfortable being themselves. Instead of allowing girls into the Boy Scouts, The Girl Scouts should work to encompass all the needs of their members, and that’s exactly what they did in order to counteract the assault by the Boy Scouts. "Girl Scout leaders said they were blindsided by the move, and they are gearing up an aggressive campaign to recruit and retain girls as members. That includes 23 new merit badges focusing on outdoors and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)" (Harrison 1). This act of social justice has done nothing to help the girl youth of America. Its only made the situation more political and has brought down this burning web of social change onto the young citizens of America. The social pressures that social justice claim to relive are only added upon when we force our youth to think about such rudimentary and absurd things like if they need to sacrifice what they want in order to be fair to every last irritated parent. Do we really want our future leaders to be so conscious of their actions that they can't do anything in fear of offending someone? " "See this badge?" a future Scout may say. "Got that for helping a little old person across the street." You mean a little old lady? "Nuh-uh. See this badge? That's for not misgendering." Great.
