For Girl Scout Teens
Girl Scouts Sailing on the Chesapeake
Who: Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts
Where: Annapolis, MD
When: Sunday, June 30, 2013; 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 a.m.
What: During your two hour cruise aboard the Schooner Woodwind, we take a very interactive approach to educate the girls about sailing. As with all of our Girl Scout programs, we have the girls break into smaller groups to work directly with our crew members after the Girl Scouts all help to raise the sails. The crew educates by asking questions. This enables our crew to find out the level of interest and knowledge in a fun and interactive way while dispersing fun facts to the Girl Scouts.

From Girl Scouts, to Female Engineers
Do you have a question about studying or working in STEM fields? We want to hear it!
From now until June 30, Phi Sigma Rho is collecting questions from Troops or individual Girl Scouts about studying and working in science, engineering, math, and science (STEM) fields. In July and August our active and alumnae sisters will make short, personal video responses for each of the questions we receive.
To submit your question, with a parent or troop leader:
- Take a video of you asking your -OR-take a photo of you with your question written clearly on a sign -OR- simply type the question in a message, then
- Email the question with your Name(s) and Troop Number to Community@phisigmarho.org.
Phi Sigma Rho is a national sorority for women in technical studies with chapters at 29 colleges and universities across the US, including nearby Howard University. Our sisters include around 3800 undergraduates and alumnae, most of whom graduated with an engineering or technology degree. But earning a STEM degree can lead to job opportunities in many fields! During and after college, our sisters work in everything from medicine to computer programming, construction to education, aerospace to law. Phi Rho adopted Girl Scouts of the USA as a national philanthropy partner in 1998, and we have since worked to educate, motivate, and hopefully inspire these young women. For more information, please visit our website at www.PhiSigmaRho.org.
Photos and videos submitted as part of "From Girl Scouts, To Female Engineers" will not be used for any purpose beyond this specific activity, nor will they be posted or publically distributed without prior approval from participants or the appropriate legal guardians. Email addresses and contact information will be kept private and handled only by the Phi Sigma Rho Director of Community Involvement and official Girl Scout employees. No correspondence beyond the scope of this activity will be sent to email addresses provided to us.
If you have questions about the "From Girl Scouts, To Female Engineers" activity, please email the Phi Sigma Rho Director of Community Involvement, Ingrid Bauer, at Community@PhiSigmaRho.org.
