Girl Scouts of the USA has established the Girl Scouts Advocacy Network, a grassroots network where Girl Scout members, staff, alumnae, high school age girls, and the general public can act on issues moving through Congress and the state legislatures that are important to girls and Girl Scouts.
Join the Girl Scouts Advocacy Network at http://www.girlscouts4girls.org/, so you can respond to and influence policy issues that impact girls and Girl Scouting.
These issues include healthy living, increasing girls’ involvement in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), financial literacy, and leadership. The Network will also focus on issues that will expand the delivery of Girl Scout program into currently underserved communities.
An Example.
The Girl Scout Advocacy Network is working toward securing support for legislation currently moving through Congress that will authorize the U.S. Mint to issue a Girl Scout commemorative coin to celebrate our 100th Anniversary. Not only will this be a way for us to promote Girl Scouting, but it also pays homage to the 100 years of our commitment to service, leadership and the successful young women who have been Girl Scouts. Registrants to the Network have the opportunity to have a letter sent on their behalf, which will help enact this legislation in Congress.
