Out & About with GSKSMO Juniors!
Connect and learn about troops in our council!
GSKSMO
Juniors are taking leadership opportunities and building friendships!
Girl Scout Troop 663 from Kansas City, MO got a cool opportunity to go behind the scenes at a yummy business, Ikey's Pizza. They learned how the business operates and then got hands on learning to form the pizza dough, slather on sauce and top their pizza! And of course the best part was eating their creation, hot out of the oven!! Yum!!
Brownie / Junior Troop 1112 from Lawrence, KS had a great night of learning and giving back. Together, as a troop they collected diapers for the organization, Basic Needs. And then the Juniors helped their Brownie sisters earn their Money Manager badge!

Did you know the Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world? It's true-and it's pretty amazing!!
All of the net revenue raised through the Cookie Program-100 percent of it- stays with our council and troops. Most troops will use
some money earned to fund a project that will improve their community, and/or use some of their proceeds to make a gift to a worthy cause of their choice.

kill-building programming, and adds caring adult mentors and strong female role models. Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM, the outdoors, development of life skills, and entrepreneurship,and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with her.
