Girl Scouts of Central & Western Massachusetts Council and UMass Medical center in Shrewsbury have combined to offer Senior & Ambassador Scouts a special school vacation week program on Tuesday, April 20 from 9 to 11:30 a.m.
CSI and Genetics Lab: Working as lab technicians we have two tasks
1) we must solve a crime!
2) we need to test for a disease!
Our first task…A jewelry store was robbed and the perpetrator appeared to cut him/herself on the broken store window; blood was found on glass at the scene of the crime. The blood-spattered shards of glass were brought to our forensics lab to analyze the DNA to determine who committed the crime!!
Our second task of the day is to determine the genotype of a mother, father and their fetus. We’ll need to use Gel Electrophoresis (a really cool technique for separating and analyzing mixtures using electricity) to determine if Jim, Jane and their fetus carry the genes for cystic fibrosis. This information can be used to calculate the probability of the couple’s next child having the disease. It’s a tough job, but SOMEBODY’s gotta do it.
This event is for Troops, Juliette Scouts, and individual Scouts from Troops. Safety-wise rules apply for Troops. Juliette and individual Scouts must attend with an adult.

Reminder: World Thinking Day is Monday, Feb. 22
COUNCIL NEWS: Girl Scouts' World Thinking Day is coming up on February 22.
Each year on this day, girls participate in activities and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Scouts in other countries.
The theme for World Thinking Day 2010 worldwide is "together we can end extreme poverty and hunger."

Pilgrim Program for Cadette, Senior & Ambassador Scouts on March 6
1620: Did young women in 17th century New England have the same responsibilities and opportunities that they do today? How did native and colonial girls transition to womanhood?

A special part of the day will help girls grow on the inside, by discussing cultural and racial stereotypes (like those about Native People) in our everyday lives. Led by one of the museum’s Native staff members, girls will brainstorm how they can raise awareness of and take action against stereotypes in their communities.
