Excerpt from article:
"Clark’s focus on good health serves as a reminder that the Girl Scouts organization, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, is much more than cookies. The group offers age-specific and educational paths called journeys — some with a food focus. While Brownie Scouts might learn to make a snack, Ambassador Scouts in the 11th and 12th grades learn to make a meal. Journeys also teach nutrition and important definitions such as what it means for food to be grown organically. "
