Girl Scouts: Not just cookies. We want science!

Girl Scouts: Not just cookies. We want science!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Girl Scouts are now getting more of what they want...and it's not just cookies.

It's actually science, technology, engineering and math, the so-called STEM fields.

A recent Girl Scout Research Institute study showed that 74% of high school girls are interested in STEM. But few girls pursue careers in these areas, in part because many think they'd have to work harder than men to be taken seriously.

Leaders of the Girl Scouts aim to change this by ramping up the troops' exposure to STEM, both through activities and interactions with women working in these fields.


Girl Scouts' Amelia Steeger teaches children about alternative energy. She's interested in a STEM career.
