Empowerment through skills and confidence-building remains the goal of this centuries-old all-girls group,but now there is more emphasis on helping girls excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM.Girl Scout leaders hope the new approach will help the group survive new challenges, like declining membership.Empowerment through skills and confidence-building remains the goal of this centuries-old all-girls group, but now there is more emphasis on helping girls excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM.

通過技能和信心塑造來賦權女性仍然是這個有百年歷史的女子團體的目標，但是現在，他們更加強幫助女孩在科學、技術、工程和數學上取得出色成績，這些學科又稱STEM。女童軍的領導人表示，希望這種新的方法能夠幫助女童軍對抗新的挑戰，就比如女童軍人員減少的挑戰。
Over the past decade and a-half, the number of Girl Scouts has dropped from nearly 3 million girls to about 1.76 million. There are fewer adult volunteers, too. Megan Ferland who leads the Girl Scouts of Western Washington says Scouts are engaged in new activities like robotics and technology. I do believe that STEM for girls is critically important, because STEM careers are projected to be vitally important in over the next several decades, and there are not enough women in those careers and projected to not be in in those careers.
在過去的十五年中，女童軍的數量從近300萬人削減到約176萬。成年志願者的數量也在下降。領導西華盛頓女童軍的Megan Ferland認為，童軍正參與新的活動，比如機器人和科技。我確實認為STEM 這樣的學科對於女孩來說十分重要，因為這類工作預計在未來幾十年會變得至關重要，而且沒有多少女孩從事這些職業，也沒有多少女孩計劃從事這些工作。
The Boy Scouts started admitting girls into its programs last year, but the Girl Scouts will not follow suit. Remaining all-girls club is just fun with male in trend. I think that Girl Scouts really gives a unique experience for all girls because it’s like an all-girls environment. I think that’s what’s really important because it gives girls a chance to work with other girls and to work with female leaders to find their own sort of empowerment.
去年，男童軍開始招收女孩參加別的項目，但是女童不跟風效仿。剩下的全女子俱樂部也只是隨男性的大流娛樂娛樂。我認為女童軍真的給所有女孩提供了一次獨特的體驗，因為提供了全是女孩的環境。我認為這才是真正重要的，因為這個讓女孩有機會和其他女孩一起工作，也和女性領導一起工作，以此發現她們自己的能力所在。
Mai-Linh Tran has been a Girl Scout since she was in the first grade. This year she won one of the organization of highest honors—the elite Gold Award for her work in robotics. In order to build equity, you need to start at the base, and that means with kids, so Girl Scouts is a really great opportunity because it allows kids from of all ages, like, even as like a first grader, girls are getting this opportunity to find their own power. Here in this newly opened year-round camp in Dallas-the STEM center of excellence—girls of all ages explore various programs and gain skills in STEM fields. They also engage in more traditional activities, like community service and selling cookies.
Mai-Linh Tran從一年級開始就是一名女童軍。今年，她憑藉自己在機器人領域的成就獲得了最高組織榮譽獎之一－精英金獎。為了公平起見，你需要從基礎開始，這就意味著和孩子們一起。所以，女童軍真的提供了一個好機會，因為女童軍讓所有年齡的孩子，就甚至像一年級的孩子那樣，慢慢發現自己的能力。在這個新開設的達拉斯全年營地－STEM 卓越中心——任何年齡段的孩子都能參與不同的項目，獲得STEM職業技能。他們還參與更加傳統的活動，比如參與社區服務、售賣曲奇。
