Scholars Program
The Girl Scouts Scholars Program, based at Long Island University/Brooklyn Campus (L.I.U.) is open to 7th through 12th grade Girl Scouts from the five boroughs of New York City. Scholars gives girls the opportunity to broaden and diversify their exposure to career opportunities and higher education, while developing the intellectual and hands-on skills essential for the healthy development of today’s youth.
Scholars offers courses in academic and practical subjects taught by professionals from non-profit and corporate backgrounds. Girls are grouped in Girl Scout Cadette and Girl Scout Senior and Ambassador levels and given the opportunity to earn an Interest Project patch or a course certificate by completing course requirements and attending the program on a regular basis. Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors may also apply for scholarships. All Scholars participants receive the Girl Scout Scholars patch and a participation certificate.
This year’s program will take place on nine Saturdays between November 15th, 2008 and March 2, 2009. The ninth session, the Closing day, allows parents and guardians a chance to visit Scholars and congratulate the girls on their accomplishments. The Girl Scout Scholars Program helps to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world and their communities a better place.
To find out more about this opportunity, please contact the older girl program manager, Karen Lundgard at 212-645-4000 ext 215 or klundgard@girlscoutsnyc.org
