THE OUTDOORS AND VENTURE OUT! (Check out Venture Out!...a great way to learn more about getting girls outdoors.) The Girl Scout Research Institutes More Than Smores report recently affirmed that Girl Scouts benefit immensely from their time outdoors. In partnership with colleagues, volunteers, and outdoor enthusiasts from across our Movement, and as discussed during our recent 2014 Girl Scout Convention, were excited to be working on more outdoor resources geared toward getting more girls outdoors. girlscouts.org/research/pdf/GSRI_More_than_Smores-Outdoor_Experiences.pdf?spMailingID=7327421&spUserID=MTU2MjY3Nzk3NjkS1&spJobID=580136623&spReportId=NTgwMTM2NjIzS0 One example is Venture Out!, a new online adventure made possible by the Elliott Wildlife Values Project that helps Girl Scout volunteers, especially those working with K–5 troops who have little or no experience taking girls outside, learn and explore different ways to engage girls in outdoor activities. Users respond to a range of scenarios that match real-life situations and challenges our volunteers face—bad weather, distracted girls, new discoveries, and life-changing events—and are helped along the way by tips and stories from 50-plus seasoned volunteers. gsuniversity.girlscouts.org/resource/venture-out/
