National News from Girl Scouts of the USA Welcome Bonnie Barczykowski!

This past February, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) welcomed Bonnie Barczykowski as its new CEO.

Like all leaders across our Movement, Bonnie is dedicated to ensuring that girls have the opportunity to develop the skills they need to lead today and into the future. As CEO, Bonnie will build on her decade of experience at Girl Scouts and continue to elevate Girl Scouting across this country and around the world.

Ms. Barczykowski is a veteran of the Girl Scouts, having served since 2012 as CEO of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri council. During her tenure, Ms. Barczykowski and her Board built a compelling strategic vision that expanded access for girls across the region, transformed program experiences and engaged community partners. As part of her strategic vision, she led a $50 million "Her Future is Our Future” campaign to fund capital projects, scholarships, programs, and the organization’s endowment.

“Girl Scouts prepares girls to lead—in their communities, workplaces, and homes,” said Ms. Barczykowski. “I witnessed firsthand our sixyear-old Daisies become Seniors in high school. I watched them grow, develop skills and become the courageous and confident leaders they want and the world needs them to be. I am honored to lead the organization nationally, in partnership with Girl Scout volunteers and staff, to help girls thrive. Working together, we will ensure Girl Scouts remains the force our founder always intended it to be.”
