Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.\u00a0Our troop is part of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gswise.org\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Girl Scouts of Wisconsin \u2013 Southeast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Danceworks Mad Hot Rhythm (MHR)<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/danceworksmke.org\/outreach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danceworks Mad Hot Rhythm<\/a> is an educational dance program for schoolchildren in the Greater Milwaukee area targeting primarily very low-income schools in Milwaukee\u2019s central city.
