Sharing the Pie

Congress has passed legislation in support of work sharing. a prac­ tice used by some companies to reduce unemployment, curtail layoffs, and retain their skilled employees. The legislation, passed as an amendment to the omnibus tax bill, encourages the sharing of available work through the partial payment of unemployment insur­ ance-a practice called short-time compensation (STC). In lieu of mass layoffs, employers now have the option to offer their employ­ ees reduced hours and unemploy­ ment compensation for the periods they do not work. The U.S. Department of Labor Work-sharing advocate Patricia Schroeder on a recent \isit to an Air force base will be responsible for providing technical assistance to states that have been introduced in Illinois, organized labor, and civil rights plan to establish STC programs.

By assuming the roles of the girls they'll soon guide in Brownie troops, they're learning how initiative can be encour­ aged-or dampened-by an adult. Sally Grant, director of Training Development at GSUSA and a former council staff member at Hemlock Girl Scout Council (Harrisburg, Pa. ), says she found such role playing a valuable way to show leaders how to encourage girls to express themselves. 'The Brownie Ring is the best place to start," she maintains, "because that's where our youngest members learn to make decisions and take leadership in little things. It's just the beginning of a con­ tinuum of leadership building op­ portunities in the Girl Scout program." Troop Government Sets the Stage Even though the Brownie Ring is the most rudimentary type of troop government it nurtures a relatively high degree of decision making. Cindy Ford, program specialist for younger girls at GSUSA, says, " The Brownie Ring gives young girls the best chance they have at this age to make an impact on their own lives. Where else do you have ten to twenty youngsters deciding collec­ tively and through mediation what and where and when and how to spend their spare time?

Girl Scout Leader/Summer 1983 29 Mensaje de Ia Presidenta Guiando las lfderes del manana, es el t6pico de Ia edici6n especial, basan­ dose en una de las convicciones mas fuertes que tuviera Juliette Low. El tiempo de cultivar una visi6n mas clara en las niflas, para ayudarles a com­ J prender las maravillosas oportunidades que les ofrece el futuro, Juliette Low enfatiz6, es a temprana edad-antes que las ninas mismas se sientan limi­ tadas por los estereotipos que puedan apoderarse segun elias van creciendo. El Dr. Kenneth Hoyt, del Departamento de Educaci6n de los Estados Unidos, elogia grandemente el exito de nuestros materiales educativos sobre ca­ rreras: " De los Suenos a Ia Reali dad," y nos escribi6 diciendo, "estos mate­ riales han contribuido grandemente, mas que ninguna otra publicaci6n, a reducir el obstaculo del sexo-estereotipado, ayudandole tanto a las mujeres como a las ninas a sentirse mas libres y confiadas en escoger carreras que antes no se atrevfan." Elogios como esos, comendaciones de parte de otros especialistas en educaci6n y el exito de los proyectos en Carreras Educativas en las Escuelas (Career Education in Schools project), son muy estimulantes. Sabemos que muchas de nuestras Girl Scouts desean tener Ia experiencia de trabajar y ganar dinero durante el curso de sus vidas. Asf es que es muy importante que los adultos les ayuden a explorar, temprano en sus vidas y en forma reaHstica, el mundo del trabajo. Las niflas necesitan considerar muy cuida­ dosamente que aptitudes, abilidades, y entrenamiento necesitan para el tra­ bajo que escojan, si es que desean encontrar Ia misma satisfacci6n que .E1 tiempo de tienen en Ia familia y en los servicios comunitarios. Ustedes y yo sabemos Ia tremenda dimension que ailade a nuestras cultivar una vision vidas el trabajo voluntario. El enriquecimiento personal que encontramos en mas clara en las Girl Scouting, de lo que a menudo he ofdo hablar a muchas de nuestras voluntarias, es que nosotros recibimos mas de lo que ofrecemos-en com­ niii.as es a temprana pleta satisfacci6n y de distintas maneras. Por ejemplo, muchas de las abili­ dades que adquirimos---en relaciones humanas, liderazgo, administraci6n, edad-antes de que psicologia del nino, manejo o direcci6n-todas estas son abilidades que estan muy en demanda y que aumentan nuestros meritos y como resultado elias mismas se nos ayudan en gran parte a conseguir trabajos con paga. En Girl Scouting tambien tenemos oportunidades para carreras en trabajos voluntarios, que sientan limitadas nos dan mas prestigio, nos ayudan a expandir nuestros conocimientos, y por los estereotipos tambien a obtener satisfacci6n personal; aun mas que en algunos trabajos con paga. que se vayan TambiE~n es cierto que muchos trabajos nos alejan y a veces no nos es posible mantener comunicaci6n con Ia variedad de hombres y mujeres que apoderando segun participan en los servicios comunitarios, quienes tambien comparten los mismos intereses nuestros en Ia comunidad. Creo que una de las formas de van creciendo. llenar ese vacfo es a traves del servicio voluntario. Peter Drucker, el famoso experto en administraci6n y manejo, dice: " Hay un gran numero de mujeres en los trabajos que no gozan de los lazos de union en sus comunidades como cuando estas mujeres quedaban en sus casas," y anade, "pero ustedes las Girl Scouts ofrecen a las mujeres ese importante sentido de pertenecer a Ia comunidad, ese alga que parece haberse perdido." Muchas de nosotras hemos escogido vivir nuestras vidas en diversas maneras. Algunas somos esposas y madres, trabajadoras con paga y tam­ bien voluntarias. Algunas hemos dedicado nuestras vidas a ser esposas y madres solamente; otras mujeres han puesto todas sus energias en sus carreras. Las ninas, a quienes ahora dirigimos, tendran que hacer una va­ riedad de decisiones en sus vidas. La palabra clave, y es una palabra muy bonita, es "opci6n." Lo que nosotras y especial mente las lfderes estan tra­ tando de ofrecer a nuestras Girl Scouts es Ia completa seguridad de que elias Sinceramente, tienen Ia libertad de escoger lo que desean hacer en sus vidas. La gran experiencia de ser una Girl Scout debe ayudarles a las ninas a realizar que Ia vida esta llena de decisiones diffciles y que Ia abilidad de ~ . c: ::r~-· ~ hacer decisiones inteligentemente y de escoger sabiamente, es Ia llave de f - ;r-:.
