Story Behind the Curve

The Boys Scouts of America open their doors to girls to join the Scouts, BSA program. The program is the old Boy Scout prorgam, but was renamed to be more inviting to young ladies. A girl can join after completing 5th grade. The program began on February 1, 2019 and currently there are 3 girl Troops in Story County.

Partners

Our Partners for the current girl Troops are Boy Troops 230 and 160 of Ames and Troop 163 of Ballard. The Chartering organizations are the same as the linked Troops. They include, the Izzak Walton League, First United Methodist Church of Ames and the Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Slater. 

Action Plan

The plan of the Prairie Winds District is to continue to start additional girl troops as the opportunities become available. The working model is to link the girl troops to exsting boy troops and they provide needed adult leadership, equipment and places to meet.
