Newark, DE, January 13, 2006:   Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council has found that the critical needs of girls are not being met. We are the voice of girls on the Delmarva Peninsula and advocating the needs of girls.

Girl Today: The 4-1-1 raises the critical concerns of girls and provides resources to work with girls to understand their needs.

What are critical priorities for girls?
• Violence • Poverty • Health • Education
 

Chesapeake Bay Council is addressing the critical priorities by:
• Giving girls the skills to resist violence
• Educating girls about health issues such as obesity and AIDS
• Providing girls in poverty an opportunity to participate in positive programs
• Addressing the gender gap in science/technology
Girl Scouting builds girls of confidence, courage, and character, who make the world a better place. We do that by providing girls with personal leadership development and programs that build real life skills for the real world.
