TM party of the year earlier this month -
Inspire a Girl! More than 1,500 guests and Girl Scouts attended this incredible celebration of the power of a girl - and your generous support made it possible. As Gold Award Advisor Mary Ellen Hughes said, "the Gold Award is all about the power of one girl," and we saw that in 47 amazing new Gold Award Girl Scouts. Without YOU, Girl Scouts wouldn't be able to offer girls the very best leadership programming available and girls wouldn't have the courage, confidence and character to push themselves to go for the Girl Scout Gold Award. THANK YOU for being part of their memorable journey!
Did you know that as a girl progresses through Girl Scouts, she's exposed to the four program areas of
Civic Engagement,
S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math combined with experiences in the Arts),
Outdoor Experiences and
Entrepreneurship? When you invest in Girl Scouts, you provide girls in your community with life and leadership experiences that impact their lives as women. At Inspire a Girl, supporters like you have the opportunity to see the power of your investment reflected in the innovative projects Gold Award Girl Scouts complete. They're changing the world right in your backyard!
One extra special element of Inspire a Girl 2019 was our focus on the "Future Gold Award Girl Scouts" - the pipeline to success YOU are building by advocating, investing and volunteering with Girl Scouts. We hope you'll explore the projects our
Class of 2019 Gold Award Girl Scouts completed and become as inspired by their success as we are!

Celebrating a Special Life

"This scholarship is in celebration of her life and the accomplishments of so many young women who in their curiosity, enthusiasm, energy and efforts to better the world, remind us of Beth." - Joyce Termini
Life can change in an instant, and Joyce Termini, mother of the late Beth Winters, knows that more than anyone. When the Winters / Termini families lost their beloved Girl Scout alum and daughter, Beth, in a car accident in 1995, they wanted to find a way to keep her memory alive and inspire girls along the way. In 1996, they established the Beth Winters Memorial Scholarship with Girl Scouts and since then, it has provided higher education scholarships to more than 30 Girl Scouts, totaling more than $50,000. Thank you, Joyce Termini and Beth's family and friends, for supporting girls in Beth's memory.

Inspiring Girl Scouts
At Inspire a Girl 2019, 47 Girl Scouts were awarded their Gold Award and encouraged younger girls to become "Future Gold Award Girl Scouts!"
The Gold Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout can receive - so we want to make sure the hard work and dedication required to earn this award is recognized at the level it deserves. Our 2019 Inspire a Girl Ceremony and Expo was the highest attended event to date with more than 1,500 in attendance! Younger Girl Scouts met Girl Scouts pursuing the Bronze, Silver and Gold Award and had the opportunity to see their highest award projects on display. They also received swag bags that proclaimed "Future Gold Award Girl Scout," helping them envision a future of success for themselves. We extend a very special thank YOU, our program investors, and all supporters, for preparing girls for a lifetime of leadership. Inspire a Girl was a day of honoring our 2019 Gold Award Class and celebrating the power of girls. We also awarded four Girl Scouts scholarships through The Spirit Scholarship and the Beth Winters Memorial Scholarship. Thank you to all who attended and helped make this day truly inspirational and unforgettable!
SAVE THE DATE for the next year - Inspire a Girl 2020 is March 29, 2020!
