Bone Builders discusses many different subjects as they relate to osteoporosis and developing healthy bones, bodies and lifestyle choices. Some of these subjects are also covered in Girl Scout leader handbooks or other publications. It is very useful to review these materials. These materials reflect years of expertise Girl Scouts have had with these subjects. they also provide guidance and insight in some sensitive subject areas.

Developing Health & Fitness
The Girl Scout publication Developing Health & Fitness: Be Your Best, is one of the Contemporary Issues series, addresses nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, harmful substances, self-image and environmental factors as they affect girls and young women. This is a valuable supplement to Bone Builders.

Eating disorders have a major effect on health, including development of healthy bones (eating disorders are a "bone buster"). An eating disorder is when someone is very, very concerned (or obsessed) about wanting to be thin. This person will not get enough nutrition.

Girls and young women may develop eating disorders as a result of different things, such as stress or feeling bad about how they look. Developing Health & Fitness: Be Your Best offers important thoughts about eating disorders and stress management.
