GSMW 110th Celebrations

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate turning 110 years old this year! We held three events across council including Billings, Helena, and Cheyenne. Our Jackson event has been postponed until summer 2023. In total we had over 370 attendees participate in activities like archery, sapphire mining, canoeing, learning business skills, leather stamping, outdoor cooking, orienteering, first aid, hiking, fishing, and much more!

Here’s to the next century of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

Morgan K. of Lyman, WY earned her Girl Scout Gold Award by raising awareness for mental health at her high school. She designed decals with inspirational quotes and a QR code linking people to a website with resources and support for students. The decals were placed in the school’s bathrooms and locker rooms. Morgan also took a leadership role during Suicide Prevention week by creating a Character Ed lesson for students about mental health.

Congratulations Morgan!

Alumna Spotlight

When did you start with Girl Scouts?

1950 - Seventh grade meant a new school and a new route to walk there. I often shared this with Christa, a 9th grade girl who lived down the street. She told me about the Pfadi (Girl Guides), where she was a Patrol Leader, and invited me to a meeting. My mother was sure this was a one-time thing and cancelled my piano lesson so I could attend a meeting of Troop #9. As usual, the troop met somewhere in the forest. That first day we made tin can stoves and cooked tea. I loved it all. I have been a Girl Scout ever since and have not had another piano lesson for 72 years!
