Studio 2B is for girls ages 11-17 and is a new approach to reaching our older girls.  According to a national study done by GSUSA, these girls want to become, belong, believe and build and this is the approach to the new GSUSA’s program for preteens and teens.  Open communication is the key for adults who want to reach girls.  The new approach to older girl program challenges us to focus on these areas: Listen, Be Honest, Discuss Real Issues, Show Respect, Do More Than Scratch The Surface, Provide Flexibility, Help Them Advocate For Themselves and Ask The Girls.
