Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,

In 2022, girls exercised their voices by advocating for issues they care about at Girl Scouts’ Day at the Capitol. They experienced hands-on learning in the trades through Power Girls programs, camped with their Girl Scout sisters under the city lights at the St. Paul Saints campout, and adventured across the country (and the globe!) with their troops!

2,800 girls attended in-person program events and 900+ girls attended virtual events.

“It was so cool to learn from a real engineer!”

494 Girl Scouts

traveled with their troop or as Juliettes in 2022. Popular destinations included Savannah, GA—to see the birthplace of Girl Scouts’ founder, Juliette Gordon Low—as well as Chicago, Florida, and many national parks. Several trips were out of the country— Ecuador, Switzerland, England, The Bahamas, and more!

“Traveling with Girl Scouts was a wonderful opportunity for our daughter. She struggles with anxiety and was nervous to go on this trip. Her troop leaders and the girls in her troop helped her feel comfortable, supported, and included. She had an amazing time and came home confident, happy, and relaxed. She will have memories for a lifetime!”
