 What
About Me? That’s a question both mothers and
daughters ask as they face the many changes that occur as
girls enter their teenage years. Girls may think it’s
all about them, but there are lots of changes for moms during
these years, too. Learning to communicate about these issues
makes these challenging years easier for everyone.
Take your choice of two break-out sessions. Sample break-out
sessions include: You Are What You Eat; Shop ‘Til You
Drop; Boys, Boys, Boys!, I’m a Princess; Fun & Fit;
and I Can Do That!
Break-out sessions are provided with the help of: the Girl
Scouts of San Jacinto Council; Girls, Inc; the Houston Area
Women’s Center; the McGovern Museum of Health and Medical
Science; Texas Executive Women; and The Women’s Fund
for Health Education and Research.
After the event, be sure to stay for fabulous mother/daughter
door prizes and a complimentary museum tour! What a great
way to spend a Saturday!

 Experience
life as a sailor on the Tall Ship Elissa
Standing on the deck of Elissa, you have a clear view back
to the days when salt spray and tall ships were second nature
to “square-riggers.” In a special overnight adventure,
those days come to life again for Girl Scouts who want to
experience “a sailor’s life.”
After a tour of the Elissa and a wide screen presentation
of “Elissa, the Longest Voyage,” the overnight
crew learns by doing. They help set one of Elissa’s
huge staysails, and they work with the ship’s volunteer
crew to master seagoing knots and rope craft.
Overnight, participants follow one of the oldest traditions
of the sea–keeping watch over the Elissa and the Galveston
harbor.
Group activities include:
• Designing and flying your groups flag during your
stay.
• Learn and practice knot tying and finding those knots
on the Elissa.
• Set and douse Elissa’s staysail.
• Line handling.
• Sea chanties.
• Log entries and keeping watch overnight.
• Science, ecology, and seamanship are themes and activities
exhibited on-site.
