"Because of Girl Scouts, I learned that when reaching for a goal, nothing can stand in your way. "
-Faith Endsley, GS Ambassador, 2018 Gold Award Recipient
Celebrating our regional volunteers! Through May and June we get to honor our four amazing regions (Central, East, North & West) and celebrate our awesome volunteers and philanthropists who make Girl Scouting possible. This month we're highlighting the Central & East Regions (events in May) and next month we'll feature the North & West (events in June).
Thanks to the amazing work and dedication of our unparalleled volunteers and donors, girls are becoming leaders and reaching for the stars.
Join us in thanking the volunteers and donors in your life - they're changing the future for girls!

Growing Girl Scouts
Meet GS Ambassador Troop 1169 from Lee's Summit!
When volunteers believe in girls, they can raise extraordinary women. GS Troop 1169 from Lee's Summit, MO has become the first Ambassador troop in Service Unit 650. It's due in large part to their volunteers, including leader Karin Dillabough!
As Karin said, "We have evolved as the girls' interests have evolved. The first year the girls pretended to be puppies at every meeting...Next year, we are on to college prep.
Girl Scouts matters! These girls have had adventures that will live in their memories forever."

Blending Faith & Girl Scouts
Meet GS Junior Troop 4162!
Living a life of service and faith! For Troop 4162, creating a community for Muslim Girl Scouts has flourished into creating an awesome group of G.I.R.L.s (Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders)
™
. Whether they are at an event, sporting stylish hijabs with their uniforms to show their faith, or packing lunches for the homeless during Ramadan, these Girl Scouts are showing what it means to be a Girl Scout.
Without the dedication of volunteers like their troop leader, Saima Imtiaz, who saw the need for Muslim girls to learn to blend identities of being American and Muslim, these girls wouldn't have the incredibly Girl Scouting experiences they get today. Thank you, Saima, and all the incredible troop leaders who make a difference every day!
