Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM) is looking to expand their reach in the bustling Detroit metro area to help local girls reach their full potential.
“We want to strengthen our connections to the city and be sure that Detroit’s girls take full advantage of all we have to offer,” said Monica Woodson, CEO of GSSEM. “Our regional headquarters is in the city of Detroit, and we want to make sure we’re part of the city.”
GSSEM is bringing some of its successful STEM, entrepreneurial, and outdoor education programming to an upcoming event in Detroit to get girls excited about Girl Scouting.
FAMILY DAY IN THE PARK:
A FREE Event Presented by GSSEM!
Saturday, September 11 • 11:00 AM–4:00 PM
Palmer Park in Detroit
All children in grades K-12 who attend the event can participate in free Girl Scout programming, including robotics, drone flying lessons, Olympic-style games, LEGO Derby races and other family activities.
“We’re demonstrating just a taste of some of the things girls can do [as a Girl Scout],” said Woodson. “They’re flying drones, they’re building robots and getting involved in skilled trades and STEM. Today’s Girl Scouts are leading in so many ways and families will get a chance to see what Girl Scouting can do for their daughters first-hand.”
GSSEM’s goal is to build leadership, courage, confidence, and character among girls—all skills that are essential for future careers and life success.
