Girl Scouts inspires Girls to be leaders in their own lives by
building the courage, confidence, and character to raise their voices
and be advocates for the issues and ideas important to them. Girl
Scouts use their determination to lead every day in the fight for a
clean environment, equality, safety issues, local concerns, and much
more.
Girl Scout advocacy programs give your Girl Scout
a chance to:
• Explore issues that are important to
her
• Expand her network and meet community leaders, experts,
and elected officials
• Become inspired to make a
difference
• Prepare to lead positive change through civic action
