Program Initiatives Health & Wellness

 

Every girl deserves to live a healthy life — emotionally and physically.

Whether helping girls work towards earned age-level awards such as the Eat Right, Stay Healthy Try-It or the Stress Less Badge, or talking with leaders or advisors about issues of concern in their lives or in their communities, Angeles Council wants to help Girl Scouts keep their bodies healthy, their minds engaged, and their spirits alive.

Angeles Girl Scout Council’s program guides girls through simple exercise that help them to understand their bodies and develop positive self-esteem and care for themselves by making healthy choices.

 

Girl Scouts Shape Up - Girls of all ages can get in shape with a patch project that rewards them for healthy eating and physical activity. 

The In the Zone, Living Drug Free series provides girls with a framework of substance abuse facts and information. Age-appropriate activities are teach and reinforce empowering messages about living drug free.

Relay for Life, an American Cancer Society event, celebrates cancer survivors and honors those who lost their battle to the disease. Girl Scouts cannot participate in the fund-raising aspects, but can participate in the event’s educational components.

Mouth Power is an entertaining experience to help girls discover the power of a healthy smile!  Girl learn about oral anatomy, healthy food habits, proper oral hygiene and the negative effects of tobacco use.
