many schools, Girl Scouts engages girls of all grade levels

pares them for a lifetime of civic engagement, and moti-
vates them to take action on issues that are important 
to them;

in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), 
the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and beyond, helping girls 
develop invaluable life skills;

a measurable and sustainable impact on a community by 
assessing a need, designing a solution, completing a 
project, and inspiring others to sustain it; and

international sisterhood of 10,000,000 girls and young

girls more opportunities to engage with communities 
worldwide, make meaningful global connections, and ex-
plore global citizenship: Now, therefore, be it
