Girl Scouts in Action
4 This past summer, Back to School Clothing Drive held an event at Grand Canyon University to provide young students with shoes, clothing, and other essential items to have a successful school year. Girl Scout Junior Yvonne, and Girl Scout Cadette Makayla from Troop 3047 volunteered their time to support this initiative, help with STEM activities, and inspire community members to get connected with the Girl Scout Movement.

5 Soarin’ into new heights and experiences! Troop 6874 and 2678 celebrated Girls In Aviation Day at United Aviate Academy, United Airlines’ flight school. The girls heard from women in different aviation professions, participated in themed activities, toured an aircraft, and tried their skills with a flight simulator. In a not-so-distant future, a Girl Scout may be your pilot, mechanic, or air traffic controller. What an empowering day!

7 The Girl Scout Juniors of Troop 7435 embarked on an exciting adventure to earn their “Get Fit” badge at Alta Climbing. The enthusiastic Girl Scouts embraced the challenge of rock climbing, pushing their physical limits and building teamworking skills. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, the girls climbed walls, and overcame obstacles and fears. Through this thrilling activity, Troop 7435 not only strengthened their health but also learned the importance of perseverance and mutual support. The “Get Fit” badge achievement at Alta Climbing marked a milestone in their Girl Scouting journey and fostered a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie. 8 Multi-level Troop 3186 watched the new documentary “Jane Goodall - Reasons for Hope” at the Arizona Science Center, where they met Dr. Goodall! They asked questions about her life and work as a primatologist. After the talk, the Girl Scouts of Troop 3186 felt inspired by Dr. Goodall’s words and passion for wildlife.
