Welcome to Discover, a new quarterly publication for you, our dedicated donors and partners. For over a century, the Girl Scout Movement has been dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. At Girl Scouts of Utah, we work with thousands of girls who discover, connect, and take action in their own communities. All this is made possible for local girls in Utah, regardless of their family’s socioeconomic status, thanks to your support. We hope you enjoy these stories of incredible adventures, opportunities, and successes happening right here in Utah.
Utah Girl Scouts participate in
The North Face Adventure Pilot Girl Scouts of Utah chosen to test new high adventure badges from GSUSA Earlier this year, The North Face and Girl Scouts of the USA announced an exciting program collaboration “to enable the next generation of women to push boundaries and move mountains.” Girl Scouts of Utah was honored to be one of the two councils in the nation chosen to help pilot the brand new badges and programming from The North Face and GSUSA. The North Face and GSUSA’s outdoor high adventure initiative was created to introduce girls of all ages to new outdoor experiences. The collaboration includes 12 new Outdoor Adventure badges and programming ranging from mountaineering and climbing, to backpacking, hiking, and trail running. These new high adventure badges are offered at all age levels and include skill progression allowing girls to push their limits and reach new heights. Locally, 27 troops and 246 girls from Girl Scouts of Utah are having a blast discovering new high adventure experiences while participating in the Outdoor Adventure badge pilot, and providing feedback before the national rollout of the badges.
