"Girl Scouts gave me a group of girls I can always rely on. Even though we go to different high schools, we know we're all here for each other because we're a Girl Scout family."
-Lauren Szala, GS Ambassador & 2018 Gold Award Recipient
When you support Girl Scouts, you're giving girls a place to fit in and feel the love of her Girl Scout sisters. On this last day of the month of love, we want to share our love for you, our incredible donors! Thank you for helping empower girls to SHINE! Because of your support, girls are giving back and sharing love throughout our communities.
You can continue to make a difference all year long by showing your Girl Scout love! There are still hundreds of girls who want to find Girl Scout sisters and feel the love and acceptance that being in a troop provides. Thank you for your support of our incredible Girl Scouts!

Giving for the Future of Girl Scouts
Sharing the love through giving back!
Meet Beth Kealey, a Girl Scout mom, alum, Daisy's Circle member, troop leader and Gold Award
adviser
!
This awesome donor has followed Girl Scouting through different states, 3 daughters, 3 troops and the Gold Award in 2016 with her youngest daughter, Stephanie
(check out her video with Bob Regnier)!
Beth watched Stephanie SHINE through her experience with the Gold Award where she created a slam poetry program to give teens a place to feel loved and accepted. Today, Beth continues to share love of her own as a member of
Daisy's Circle. Even though her daughters are now proud alums, it's important to her that she help provide the same opportunities for the Girl Scouts of tomorrow that her daughters received. Thank you, Beth, for your leadership and continued support of Girl Scouting!
"Giving is just a cultural thing for me. If we want the experiences my daughters received for future Girl Scouts, we have to keep giving. You need that grassroots foundation of support to keep these programs." - Beth Kealey

Encouraging Buddy Love for Bronze Award
Your support creates buddies beyond Girl Scouts! Girl Scout Troop 1519 from Kansas City, MO is encouraging kids in their community to be buddies for Bronze! Their project was centered around "buddy benches" that they donated to Academie Lafayette. These benches will encourage people to be nice to one another, be helpful and find new friends - that's some awesome Girl Scout love!
Thanks to your support of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, Girl Scouts are finding innovative ways to share love with their communities.
Through their Bronze Award project, the troop had to create a plan, present to the school administrative staff, take surveys and build the benches. After months of preparation, the benches are ready to be installed on the playground! Think of all the friendships that will blossom out of this one project - thank you for being part of that! When you give to Girl Scouts, you help make projects like this possible!
