Leadership Institute Was Splendiloquent
Posted by admin under: Girl Scout Reorganization .
It makes sense that one of the first online stories I’ve found with details about the Girl Scout convention should come from nwi.com and Carolyn Thompson since they are in Indiana where the convention was held.
More than 60 Girl Scouts from Northwest Indiana joined 2,000 youths from around the globe in attendance at the Girl Scout Leadership Institute Oct. 29 and 30 in Indianapolis.
As a theme, Live Healthy, Lead Healthy, youngsters attended workshops, including global/diversity challenges, stress management, community pride, personal esteem and stress management.
…
In a health session, young people were encouraged to “stand up for our rights and end tobacco use by writing letters to our political leaders because smoking increases your chance of death,” Howard said.
“The commercials make it seem that smoking is OK for us and we migrate to it.”
…
Royer said the new Leadership Institute was birthed from the youths’ expressing they didn’t feel like they were leaders.
In answer, the girls were greeted with “splendiloquent” - explore your values and rediscover your voice, connect with people from around the globe, learn strategies to take action, Klauer said.
