The Girl Scouts BIG Event inspires girls getting into STEM

RAPID CITY, S.D. – Today was a BIG day for Girl Scouts in the area. Literally! The Believe in Girls Event was held today by the Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons council at Western Dakota Technical College. The event focused on professions in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), which are often male-dominated fields. The Girl Scouts of America holds events like these to help with outreach of women in these fields.

“We have everywhere from our littlest Girl Scouts, which are daisies, to our older Girl Scouts who are our seniors. They’re helping our younger Girl Scouts with their crafts,” said Adriane Cole, the Membership Engagement Manager for the southwest district of Dakota Horizons, “they are also teaching them about owls or helping in the retail store. So they’re learning the entrepreneurial and event organization part of Girl Scouts.”

The Girl Scouts are always looking for more support and new leaders. To get involved, you can reach out to the Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons council at gsdakotahorizons.org

South Dakota-made munitions systems will anchor U.S. military’s drone dominance

A multi-rotor drone and its fixed-wing, one-way attack counterpart that flanked a wall-sized American flag inside a northern Sioux Falls warehouse Friday weren’t the main attraction.

Rather, Pentagon officials and South Dakota dignitaries gathered for an invite-only ceremony at MMS Product, Inc. to get a look at a newly developed military advancement that will give South Dakota a front-row seat to the U.S. military’s race to drone warfare dominance.

Abortion access campaign tests South Dakota laws, free speech standards

A cease and desist order and a national abortion-access organization told to stop advertising in South Dakota are testing both free speech and consumer protection laws.

Attorney General Marty Jackley this week issued notice to Mayday Health directing the nonprofit to halt a statewide gas station ad campaign launched earlier this month, spotlighting South Dakota’s near-total abortion ban, First Amendment protections and the reach of the Deceptive Trade Practices regulations.
