Self Defense Classes for Girl Scouts: In person or Online

What we do in this class:

Physical and verbal assaults on children are more common than you think. The National Center for Juvenile Justice found that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys were sexually assaulted before the age of 18. A study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that 27.8% of students report being bullied during the school year. There were 424,066 entries into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center for missing or abducted children in 2018 alone. Our self defense class for Girl Scouts class is designed to teach self defense techniques in a fun, group atmosphere. By attending one of our self defense classes, your Girl Scout will earn the Awareness Patch, or she can also obtain the “Go Chihuahua Crazy!”™ Patch, the Back-Off patch, and the B.O.B. patch by taking a refresher or level-2 class. Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors classes cover topics that are geared towards a more mature audience. Our self defense class for Girl Scouts teaches:

What troop leaders say…

“My girls loved your workshop! They could not stop talking about it! They loved, loved your real-life stories! Also, my 8th grader thanked me for making her stay in Girl Scouts. She said this workshop topped any other workshop they have done! They can’t wait for the next session!”

SarahGirl Scout Troop Leader-San Diego

“The girls had a wonderful time and I was very pleased with your program. I was impressed by how you addressed staying aware, not afraid, taught them to trust their instincts, and most importantly, gave them the tools to avoid confrontation but protect themselves, if necessary.”

MichelleGirl Scout Troop Leader-San Diego

“Thank you again for the amazing class! I truly feel that you made a significant difference in our girl’s lives. The troop and moms are still buzzing about how wonderful the training was. We look forward to having an annual training from you.”
