COME JOIN US FOR A FUN DAY OF
LEARNING HOW TO STOP BULLYIN
Power Up encourages the 85 percent of the population who are bystanders to
bullying (rather than targets or bullies) to recognize the strength in those
numbers and use it to intervene when they see something wrong. An all-girl
program, Power Up is focused on preventing the unique verbal and relational
bullying prevalent among girls. Troop 141 and 1701 have been trained to lead girls
through this unique program. Troop 141 choose this topic to focus on for their
Girl Scout Silver Award—the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn—
giving them the chance to show that they are leaders who are organized,
determined, and dedicated to improving your community.

Every 7 minutes a child is bullied.
85 percent of bullying episodes happen in front of bystanders. The level of aggression and
abuse rises with each additional audience member.
Adults intervene in only 4 percent of bullying incidents on the playground, and 14 percent of
bullying incidents in the classroom.
Peers intervene in 19 percent of bullying incidents.
Power Up is designed to teach girls how to identify bullying; address bullies, targets and
bystanders; and give girls the tools they need to intervene when they see bullying. We strive
for the girls to find their power, both personally and in numbers, to stand up against bullying
instead of just standing by.
