Feeling irrelevant to modern teenage girls, the Girl Scouts is undertaking a massive overhaul. The organization recognizes that earning merit badges for cookie sales and embroidery doesn’t resonate anymore. Today’s girl scout wants high adventure.

The change grew out of discussions that began in 2003 at the national level.

After two years of research and input from thousands of Scouts and volunteers, Girl Scouts USA heard the message loud and clear: Girls wanted an organization that would help them deal with everyday challenges such as bullying, teen pregnancy and divorce, as well as age-old problems such as peer pressure and self-esteem. Today's Scout is learning about crime-scene investigation, how to change a tire, technology, math and science, noted Lisa Johnson, chief marketing and development officer for the Palm Glades Council.
