Made with Code & Maker Day
Girl Scouts is connecting girls to careers in computer technology. We have partnered with Google
to offer girls an exciting new initiative, Made with Code, to change how girls think about coding—
and inspire them to explore careers in computer science. Play coding games, meet mentors and
makers, learn about events, and find resources through the Made with Code link on our website:
www.gscnc.org/madewithcode.html.
I can’t wait to...
be a Maker
What is a Girl Scout Maker?
Girl Scout Makers like making things they’re excited about—whether it’s a craft, a piece of furniture, a robot,
or a computer program. Makers like to tinker, take things apart, and try and put them back together again in
new ways. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter!
Help your girls become Girl Scout Makers
• Register your troop to participate in the first Nation’s Capital Maker Day in April at the
Annual Meeting
• Go to www.gscnc.org/GSMaker.html for updates on Maker resources and ways to be involved
• Join the Maker Steering Committee and help make Maker happen
• Follow us on Facebook.com/GSCNC to get updates on our Maker event

Program News Spotlight
GEICO Art of Independence
GSCNC’s and GEICO’s Art of Independence program will
empower Girl Scouts to discover skills that will prepare them
for a positive, healthy, and independent future by earning a
life-skills badge.
You have two ways to participate:
Earn a practical life-skills badge at your level with your troop.
Then let us know which badge you earned between October
2014 and July 2015 by filling out a survey at
www.surveymonkey.com/s/HC3Q3FZ and we will send you
a FREE GEICO patch while patch supplies last!
Or
Attend one of the Art of Independence events hosted by Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital. There will be
five events offered throughout the Council. They will be advertised on the GSCNC website and our
publications as they are scheduled. For more information, go to
www.gscnc.org/artofindependence.html.
The Life-Skills Badges are:
My Great Day - The My Great Day badge teaches Girl Scout Brownies (grades 2-3) that life is more
fun when it’s running smoothly and encourages them to be organized—so there’s more time to play!
Independence - The Independence badge encourages Girl Scout Juniors (grades 4-5) to start
taking care of themselves, learn their capabilities, and show their families they are learning how to be
responsible. Topics include: transportation smarts, breaking bad habits, taking care of clothes, and
helping around the house.
Babysitter - The Babysitter badge teaches Girl Scout Cadettes (grades 6-8) how to be well-prepared,
responsible and effective babysitters. Girls learn about how kids develop, how to focus on play, how
to find employers, and what to do when challeges arise.
Car Care - By fulfilling the requirements for the Car Care badge, Girl Scout Seniors (grades 9-10)
learn basic car care maintenance, vehicle safety, safe driving practices, what to do in an emergency,
and how to drive for a greener world.

Religious Recognitions
for Girls of All Ages!
Girls of all grade levels can

Faith pin. This pin can be
earned once a year and
allows girls to strengthen
the connection between
their faith and the Girl Scout
Promise. This national pin is
a great way to connect with
your community, get inspired,
and reinforce what you’ve
learned through the Girl Scout
Promise. Find out how to earn My Promise,
My Faith online or in your Girl’s Guide to Girl
Scouting book.

Participants receive fun goodie bags for their efforts, and many teams have been invited to
