We celebrate today's Girl Scouts as they build leadership skills and realize their bright, bold futures.
From Our Girl Board Member, Justine Hester
In my 2024 Girl Scout year, I have sailed across the Land Between the Lakes, ventured through the jungles of Costa Rica, sailed a catamaran through the Pacific Ocean, mentored younger Girl Scouts, and walked the halls of Kentucky’s Capitol building.
By doing such, I have not only met lifelong friends from around the world but have been immersed in Costa Rican culture, learned basic boating techniques, and grasped the fundamentals of leadership, which I hope to use when I become a lawyer.
I have been in Girl Scouts since the beginning of elementary school and am nearing the end of my high school career. It has helped me build confidence, moneymaking skills, friendship, and leadership.
I am currently a Girl Board Member, which allows me to amplify the girls voices in my area and bring issues or comments to the Board table. Doing so feels like a great conclusion to my Girl Scouting experience.

Thank You for an Incredible Year of Making a Difference
Hooray! We’ve had another amazing year full of fun-filled adventures and life-changing experiences at Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana. From unique troop activities and events like Festival of the Arts to summer camp, local Girl Scouts made countless memories that will last for a lifetime.
As we head into the holiday season, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible support we receive from the community and generous donors Your investment helps expand the impact of Girl Scouting to even more young lives, and each dollar you give will keep Girl Scout membership and adventure accessible to girls in need of financial assistance.
Girl Scouts are our future leaders and are developing skills today that will help them make a difference in our local communities and even the world. Girl Scouting provides the opportunity for girls to talk about their feelings with supportive peers and adults in a safe space, make lifelong connections, participate in community traditions, and feel a genuine sense of belonging In this environment, girls gain the knowledge and confidence to become engaged citizens, critical thinkers, effective communicators, empowered learners, productive collaborators and strong leaders
Please consider supporting Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana through a tax-deductible gift this holiday season. Your donation will help us fulfill our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Without generous contributions from supporters like you, we would be unable to provide girls needed financial aid, grant outdoor and camp scholarships, build meaningful programming throughout the year, and maintain our camps.
Thank you for helping us inspire future female leaders through programming designed to make ALL girls feel welcome and included.

Camp is a place where girls build confidence, forge lifelong friendships, and create unforgettable memories.
Every Girl Scout should be able to make lasting memories at summer camp. Financial assistance is available to ensure the same access to outdoor opportunities for all. This commitment to providing the leadership opportunities from camp experiences is made possible by the Joyce Seymour Leadership Fund.
