In an effort to save money and re-energize, the Girl Scouts are changing their traditional “do good” lessons by becoming more technology-friendly and interactive. The Washington Post reports, troops will begin video chatting with people around the country, learn how to become energy efficient and make healthy choices. To appeal to a younger crowd, college aged students will lead the troops, rather than parents.

It’s also forgoing individual badges. Girl Scouts can work towards badges, but they’re being encouraged go on “journeys.” They earn badges through broader topics, like making healthy meals.

The Girl Scouts says in recent years it’s lost members because it’s viewed as a traditional activity, specific to gender roles. In today’s world, girls can do anything boys can do, so why separate them and teach them how to make campfires? Don’t panic, they’ll still sell cookies. Because honestly, what would we do without Thin Mints and Do-See-Dos?

I was a Girl Scout, it was more like Troop Beverley Hills (that’s probably because my troop was comprised of 12 Jewish girls). We never learned anything super useful, but it was a great experience that taught me how to compromise (we one time got into a huge fight and ran 12 different directions through the St. Paul / Minneapolis airport) and be involved in the community (we’d go to the local Jewish nursing home and play bingo and paint the old ladies’ nails). But the most important lesson I learned in Girl Scouts was if we sold enough cookies, we could go horseback riding (which meant my dad was troop dad because Jewish moms don’t hoseback ride, they plan the post horseback bonfire). I’m proud to say I was the top seller for three years in a row!
