1.G S K H October and November 2010 Kansas Girl Scouts Journey to NASA Girls Given the Tools to Start Their Own Astronomy Clubs Two very lucky Kansas Girl Scouts, accompanied by two local volunteers ventured to the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, MD July 18-23 to learn about NASAs Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland team, including Girl Scouts Allison Stukey (Wichita) and Shelbey Logan (Salina), along with volunteers Fred Gassert and Brindi Stables were one of only 10 Girl Scout Council teams (out of 109) selected to participate. These Girl Scouts are now responsible for organizing at least five trainings with adults and/or older Girl Scouts, and to form a Girl Scout Astronomy club with the help of a Girl Scout-NASA core volunteer mentor. Visiting Goddard Space Center helped me understand the inner-workings of NASA, said Stukey. This opportunity allowed me to understand the career I would need to obtain and how to follow my dream and receive a job at NASA. Left to Right: Allison, Shelbey and Brindi enjoyed a side trip to the White House.

This does not include the hours spent online, playing video games, listening to the radio, or reading magazines!The Girl Scout Research Institutes latest survey, Girls and Body Image (2010), revealed alarming statistics about teen girls relationships with the media and fashion industry. Nearly 90 percent of girls surveyed say the media places a lot of pressure on girls to be thin. 60 percent of girls compare themselves to models. Body dissatisfaction can result from this comparison, and leads to serious health problems, such as unhealthyeating and dieting habits. More than half of girls (55 percent) admit they diet to lose weight.Over the next couple of years, well be partnering with GSUSA to bring more awareness about the issue to our members across Kansas, as well as to the community at large. Well be conducting community roundtables across the state to inform and educate using media-awareness activities from the new Journey, Its Your Story, Tell It during program activities. Stay tuned for more information about our efforts. Those interested in joining the discussion are asked to contact Cat Poland at cpoland@gskh.org. 4.
