HOLIDAY WISHES Grateful for You
As we reflect on this past year, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the volunteers who make Girl Scouts a place of possibility. Every meeting, every badge, every moment of encouragement helps girls step more confidently into who they’re becoming.
Your leadership does more than teach skills; it helps each girl see her own brilliance. In your care, she learns to trust her ideas, use her voice, and take on challenges with courage. These small moments add up, shaping girls who recognize the strength they already hold inside.
Because of you, girls know they are capable, supported, and never alone. They discover courage they didn’t know they had, curiosity that moves them forward, and confidence that follows them into every new adventure.
Thank you for the steady hands, open hearts, and inspiring guidance behind so many Girl Scout experiences. Your commitment lights the path for girls to grow, explore, and uncover the power within them.
Together, we can ensure every Girl Scout has access to:
�� Leadership experiences that build courage and confidence
�� STEM, outdoor adventure, and life skills programs that open doors
�� A supportive community where girls discover the power within themselves
Your donation, combined with the reach of your personal network, helps us extend these opportunities to even more girls who are ready to dream big and lead boldly.
