Grow Strong
A Healthy Living Program Kit

In a culture where girls mature in a sedentary environment of fast food restaurants and video games - a culture where bullying and emotional stress are all too common - how do we encourage girls to "grow strong?"

The Grow Strong program provides resources and activities to help instill in girls the habits that will influence their emotional and physical health for the rest of their lives. Grow Strong was made possible, in part, by a generous grant from BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst). Kit activities are most appropriate for Brownies and Juniors and are available for all volunteers to borrow for troop meetings or events.

This program kit and activity guide provides you with the resources to help girls Discover, Connect and Take Action to improve their own health and make their world a healthier place. Thank you for helping girls to Grow Strong!
