It’s your time to lead. On February 22, girls from more than 150 countries will come together to explore the global dimensions of Girl Scouting and take action to change the world for the better. The theme for this year’s World Thinking Day? Leadership! (Now that’s an idea we can all support!) Check out our new resources designed to make this World Thinking Day one of the best ever.

What’s her barrier-breaking, goal-crushing, world-changing superpower? Encourage every Girl Scout you know to enter the 2019 Cookie Pro™ contest, and let us know! Girl Scouts and the inspiring DC Super Hero Girls™ are teaming up to give girls the Cookie Entrepreneur Experience of a lifetime, including a trip to sunny California; she can share her unique cookie story for a chance to win—and unlock a special patch!

We are so proud of Girl Scout Caleigh who recently earned her Gold Award! After putting in over 120 hours of work and raising over $10,000, her hard work and determination was honored in her Gold Award Ceremony. Caleigh's project was to build a dog park to address an issue in her community where dogs run free, and there are few safe places for dogs and their owners to enjoy the community.

This past fall, Troop 8237 participated in Oakfield Community Cleanup. These girls worked together to rake and cleanup leaves, keeping their community beautiful. Way to go Girl Scouts! We are so glad to see you were helping give back to your community, getting outdoors, caring for the environment, and of course having some fun!

Ivy, a Fond du Lac Girl Scout, earned her Gold Award. Ivy's project focused on menstrual equity. She created a supply and distribution chain for free feminine hygiene products to be available in bathrooms at Fond du Lac High School, as well as creating take-home bags of supplies for teens in need outside of school. The project was inspired by both personal experience and a larger view of the social impact of access to menstrual products.
