Through the generous support of PepsiCo Foundation, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is delighted to announce the launch of a Healthy Living Campaign to promote positive attitudes and behaviors that will lead to a healthier lifestyle. In partnership with Girl Scouts of Westchester*Putnam Inc. and the America On the Move Foundation (AOMF), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health and quality of life by promoting healthful eating and active living, GSUSA will be creating resources to motivate girls and adults to improve their physical well-being by engaging in healthful eating and increased physical activity.

Through this collaboration, GSUSA will reach Girl Scout members around the country and the world, providing them with information and tools to take action in strengthening their own physical health and the health of their community.  Exciting new resources based on current research by GSUSA and AOMF will be used to address issues related to overweight, obesity, nutrition and physical activity. An interactive DVD, an adult Web component, and a tool for organizing communitywide events will engage participants in lifelong learning with the goal of positively impacting the health of multiple generations.
