If circumstances make it difficult for a girl’s troop to meet in person, if she is a Juliette (independent) Girl Scout, or she simplys want to have some additional Girl Scout fun and learning experiences with her family, the new Badge in a Box kits can cover it all.

For the last 110 years, Girl Scouts has spent every day propelling
the success of girls. The Girl Scout experience shapes innovative and
entrepreneurial-minded leaders by allowing girls to find the courage
to fail and keep trying, the tools to create independence and the
power to do good.
You may have heard the news that Girl
Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced an $84.5 million donation from
philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. While GSWNY (Our Council) is not a
direct grant recipient, this donation could not have come at a better
time. With the challenges facing girls today, it’s critical to invest
in their futures through organizations like GSWNY.
Your
help is needed to support the next generation of our girls! The number
of families asking for financial assistance through our Council
Opportunity Fund has increased over the past two years. YOU can make a
difference with a contribution to this fund today!
