My Final Project

I want to cover the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains.  In 2009 they had to deal with huge cutbacks.  They got rid of staff members and had several staff double-up on duties. They also had to discontinue programs that they usually had every year.
The year 2012 will be the 100th anniversary and they are already in preparation for events.  At the same time they are working a campaign against cyber-bullying.  This could be my angle because there have been a lot of events concerning this topic around the country lately.

For content I could talk to the director of the program.  The council office is in Bedford, NH and there are several people who could talk about Girl Scouts and the program.  I could find girls who have been involved with this campaign.  With patience and luck I could find someone who has been effected by cyber-bullying.

The other angle I could take is that there is a national committee being put together  to make girl scout more efficient and make programs and camps more relevant to the 21st century and areas of the country.  The annual meeting for the regional council takes place in November.  I could cover this which is being incorporated with the national committee.
