Your Girl Can Explore History and Earn a Patch!
From Take Action projects to Highest Awards, Girl Scouts are driving the changes they want to see in the world. During Women's History Month, we're celebrating those who have come before and those who continue to inspire, push boundaries, and make history.
To commemorate this can-do spirit, Girl Scouts are invited to learn more about the fight for women's rights and unlock a special Suffrage patch!
We appreciate all of the support that you've shared this cookie season, which has offered both twists and triumphs. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the top girl-led entrepreneurship program in the world. By participating, girls get hands-on experience building confidence and skills that will last a lifetime. And who is encouraging them every step of the way? Their Girl Scout families!
Thank you for being your girl's biggest fan. Thank you for cheering her on as she navigated change and uncertainty. Thank you for being there. Please know that we appreciate everything that you do as a family to help your Girl Scout build courage, confidence, and character.
Be sure to check our our 2023 Cookie Program photo album and share your own pics or videos!
