Because of YOU, Girls are reaching for GOLD!

"Because of Girl Scouts, I am not afraid to lead and stand up for what I know is right. "

-Chloe Rothery, GS Ambassador, 2018 Gold Award Recipient & Beth Winters Scholar

Thank you for supporting our Girl Scouts love of service! On April 14, 2018 our council was proud to celebrate 60 amazing Gold Award Girl Scouts at our annual Inspire a Girl event! This is our largest event of the year and showcases not only the power of Girl Scouts giving back, but our strong community supporting these girls! Thank you for helping our Girl Scouts follow the Gold Award path by supporting programming that builds life skills and a love of service.

We hope you had a chance to check out our Event Recap video, which features images from the day, and the awesome keynote speech from GSKSMO Gold Award Alum and Miss Teen USA, Sophia Dominguez-Heithoff and our closing message, Stand Up For G.I.R.L.s. It was truly a day to remember and we thank you for helping make it happen!

Beth Winters Scholarship

Meet the 2018 Beth Winters Scholarship Awardees!

Meet Isabella Barnes!

Isabella's project "Lift Off" helped at-risk kids in Kansas City increase their literacy and foster a love of learning. Her determination, charisma and dedication to making lasting change was a driving force behind her receiving this incredible scholarship! Way to go!

Meet Emily Musembi!

Emily's project helped survivors of domestic abuse start a new life. When someone is in an abuse situation, they often have to leave behind items like memory books. Emily helped survivors create new scrapbooks as way to chronicle their new life. Emily's project is building better, stronger families.

Meet Chloe Rothery!

Chloe's project addressed the lack of awareness about opportunities in science classes at Liberty High School. She set-up a fair for 8th graders to learn about classes they could take. Chloe showed incredible promise for creating a better tomorrow!
