Holiday lights, family and warm wishes being shared all around - it must be the holidays.
As part of our Girl Scout family, we are so thankful to celebrate you and all the amazing things you do for girls not just during the holiday season, but all year.
Your investment helps all the awesome
G.I.R.L.s (Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders)™
across our council. What a fantastic 2016! And, we are gearing up for an even bigger 2017
where we are going BOLD for girls. You are part of this community that supports girls and helps them "shine!" (as our new anthem declares). Thank you for all you do and for standing with girls all year. As you know, if we want more leaders, we need more Girl Scouts. Thank you for making this happen through your gifts and advocacy. We wish a very happy holiday season!

Let's Take the Lead Like a Girl Scout!
While some people still think of us as just cookies, campfires, and friendship bracelets, Girl Scouts are so much more. Girl Scouts are big thinkers, groundbreakers, and role models! Take a look at the new Public Service Announcement (PSA), "I'm Prepared", and our energizing anthem, "Watch Me Shine"! G.I.R.L traits define girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. This is the Girl Scout DNA.

By investing in girls, you're helping prepare the leaders of tomorrow. Check out
future Gold Award Girl Scout, Natalie Dameron, a Go-getter
who is saving the lives of dogs through Girl Scouts
. "Homes for Hounds," Natalie's Gold Award project,
combines her love of writing, photography and animals with a website she developed to help homeless dogs find forever homes. What a great example of what girls can do when you believe in them!

Real Families Standing with G.I.R.L.s!
No one knows the power of this program more than Girl Scout families with their own G.I.R.L.s!
Meet the Taliaferros, a Girl Scout family from Blue Valley with their own Risk-taker, Caroline! On her first zipline adventure, Girl Scout Junior Caroline was nervous, but with the support of our Girl Scout staff and her troop, she was able to conquer her fear - way to go, Risk-taker! These life-changing experience are possible because of generous donors, just like her family, who have decided to stand with girls by giving to Girl Scouts. The Taliaferro family are members of
Daisy's Circle, GSKSMO's monthly giving program, but there many ways to give! There's still time to make a year-end gift to Girl Scouts by visiting the links below! Join the Taliaferro family and Invest in Girls.
Change the World.
