Thanks to you, the Girl Scouts for Every Girl program launched, which is providing innovative ways to ensure every girl can be her best self in Girl Scouts. The Empower Her capital campaign concluded, resulting in a range of improvements at our camps. We also provided a variety of impactful programs in which girls learned everything from mental health and well-being to construction trades — all to meet the needs of today's girls!
As we look ahead to 2024, we remain dedicated to tackling youth mental health challenges and addressing leadership gaps in key industries, especially those in STEM fields. We are also committed to ensuring every girl has a robust Girl Scout experience.
Thank you, to the many volunteers, donors, and stakeholders who partner with us, for continuing to believe that when you invest in girls, our world is changed — and so is hers.
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Thank you to our stakeholders for helping us build girls of courage, confidence, and character. We couldn't do it without you!

Juliette Gordon Low founded Girl Scouts over 110 years ago as an innovative movement where all would be welcomed. We continuously strive to build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization that supports the many faces, cultures, and walks of life that proudly make up our vibrant community. It is essential to our mission that every individual's ideas and perspectives are sought out, heard, respected, and valued.
In 2023, GSWO implemented a new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion vision statement with the commitment to measuring and improving our belonging outcomes.
The Girl Scout Voices Count survey also tracks a Belonging and Inclusion Index to measure the behaviors associated with inclusive and equitable environments, as well as experiences that result in high levels of engagement with the organization.
