Girl Scouts partner with Microsoft for online safety
The LMK ("let me know") is an online safety campaign created in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA and Microsoft. With the escalating popularity, increasing access to the
internet and online technologies, it is important for teens and parents to be aware of the dangers that exist in cyberspace. The LMK campaign not only creates a space for internet safety experts and teen peer advisors, it also provides guidance about topics like cyberbullying and online sexual predators. The adult components of the campaign help teens to bridge the digital generation gap between themselves and their parents.
Being online, texting and IMing are a part of your life. You probably understand how the internet works better than your parents do. LMK was created by the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. in partnership with Windows to help you change the world every time you go online. Empower yourself so that you can educate others on the reality of being a teen online and help adults understand the real issues that affect you every day. LMK will provide you with the know-how to safely navigate your online life and even help your parents to understand it.
Go ahead: explore the site! Check out online safetly tips, take a quiz on how much you know about social networking, become and expert on cyberbullying, test your knowledge about online sexual preditors, meet the girls that make up the editorial team join a forum and so much more!

It may come as a surprise to many that traffic accidents are the number one cause of death among teens. Moving vehicles pose more of a threat than guns, suicide or disease. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal accidents as all other drivers, and hundreds of thousandsof teens are injured in traffic accidents each year.
For the above reasons, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, in partnership with GEICO, has created the DASHboard Road Safety Patch Program for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. The program addresses a variety of road safety topics - everything from distracted driving to car maintenance to road safety careers. Find out how YOU can make a difference on the road by earning the DASHboard Road Safety patch.
The following documents are worksheets that correspond with specific activities listed in the activity booklet. You can pick up a hard copy of all of these documents from the Atlanta Service Center.
