Great Trail Girl Scouts - Roots & Wings (Baby Think it Over) Program
|
- Instituted in 1992 through a partnership with the National Institute of Justice,
Girl Scouts Beyond Bars provides girls an opportunity to visit their
incarcerated mothers weekly to monthly and take part in mother/daughter Girl
Scout troop meetings
- Supports programming that targets some of the most underserved and undocumented
populations in the country: girls whose mothers are incarcerated or are
themselves in detention centers.
- GirlScouting in Detention Centers is often a court-mandated
program for teens and 'tweens, and provides them with opportunities to
participate in activities that work to cultivate a positive value system, a
strong social conscious and the critical life-skills needed to become healthy,
productive women. Girl Scout councils serve over 10,000 girls ages 12-17 living
in detention facilities in 20 states.
