Girl Scouts Partners with Nickelodeon to Promote The Big Green Help Campaign




Girl Scouts of the USA along with 11 other campaign partners are joining Nickelodeon to engage kids in The Big Green Help campaign. The Big Green Help is Nickelodeon network’s multiplatform pro-social campaign designed to empower kids to participate in earth-friendly and energy saving activities.

Starting January 1, 2009, Nickelodeon will air green-themed messages and promotional spots throughout every single programming break, all day long, as well as introduce a series of original, environmentally-themed online games. The Girl Scouts/iCarly Cafeteria Recycodrama online mini-game has been developed in order to educate kids on how they can make the world a better place by helping their schools go green.

All year long, The Big Green Help will provide information and tools across all of Nickelodeon’s multiple platforms to help explain climate change to kids, and to connect them to ways they can help at home, in school and communities. The centerpiece of The Big Green Help campaign will be the forthcoming, first-of-its-kind global multiplayer online green game for kids, which will provide actionable, measurable steps and information to directly link players to ways they can positively contribute to helping the environment in a variety of ways, on both individual and community levels.

Girl Scouts will also help extend the campaign’s reach through local grassroots activities and programs where kids can fulfill their online virtually volunteered hours throughout the year.

To play the game and help your kids learn how they can be a part of this initiative, visit http://www.biggreenhelp.com/, go to the “Games” section, and click on the iCarly/Girl Scouts icon.

GIRL SCOUTS PARTNER WITH IDAHO CENTRAL CREDIT UNION

BOISE, ID – The Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council are teaming up with Idaho Central Credit Union to provide Girl Scouts at Lowell Elementary with a six week money management program. Beginning January 21, 2009, fourth and fifth grade girls participating in the Girl Scout Visions program will learn about financial accountability once a week during their lunch hour.

The Visions program focuses on providing girls with the tools to make healthy life decisions, touching on topics such as: self-esteem, bullying, friendships, and body image. ICCU will provide “girl-friendly” training on customer service, entrepreneurship, money management, sales, and marketing that girls can put in action during the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which is ongoing through March.

“It is an honor to be involved in this program. The Girl Scouts are taking a pro-active approach to educate girls in our community and provide information on important topics, including financial education. Together we can help these youth develop strong, positive habits for their future,” stated Michael Watson with Idaho Central Credit Union.
