The Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania provide character building | Health Smart

Janet Donovan, president and CEO of Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, spoke with FOX43 on Aug. 18 about the organization.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — It seems like we all knew someone who was a girl scout as a child, or were one ourselves. 

"Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place," according to the Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania's website

Janet Donovan, president and CEO of Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, spoke with FOX43 on Aug. 18 about the organization. 

Donovan spoke about some of the programs that Girl Scouts offer, why girl-led and girl-only programs are so beneficial to the development of young women, and how you can support the organization.

According to Donovan, the Girl Scout experience encompasses four areas: the outdoors, entrepreneurship, life skills, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics). All of this helps lead young women to becoming more self-confident, she says.
