Your Promise. Her Future.

There’s something about summer that brings out the best in Girl Scouts. Maybe it’s the way a warm breeze turns into a trail hike with new friends, or how a shy smile turns into a full belly laugh around a campfire. This is the season when girls come alive—when adventure and sisterhood make confidence bloom.

Whether it’s her first overnight under the stars or her first time leading a group, summer gives girls the space to grow in ways that last long after the season ends. They begin to understand their own strength, speak up with new confidence, and discover who they truly are.

This is the heart of Girl Scouting. It’s not just what girls do—it’s who they become. It’s courage built moment by moment, joy woven into memories, and character formed through every experience.

As I meet girls across western Ohio, I see them learning to try, to lead, and to believe in themselves. I also see the incredible power of a community that believes in them too. Volunteers, families, and generous donors like you make all of this possible.

Not every girl starts with the same opportunities—but together, we can make sure every girl has access to life-changing experiences that help her grow into her full potential. One simple but powerful way to do this is through Founders Troop 1912, our monthly giving society. Monthly gifts provide steady, reliable support so that all girls can build confidence, connection, and courage—no matter their background.

Thank you for helping girls shine this summer and beyond. Your belief in them changes everything.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Thanks to Kristi K. Hoffman’s generous gift in support of Camp for Every Girl, more girls will experience the joy, adventure, and transformation that only Girl Scout camp can provide.

Kristi’s passion for empowering young women is evident in every aspect of her work and giving. Her support ensures that girls from all backgrounds, regardless of financial circumstances, can have new outdoor adventures, form lasting friendships, and grow in confidence.

“When I began supporting Camp for Every Girl, it was my hope that girls who may never have felt the excitement of going to camp, could have that amazing opportunity, without feeling the financial burden of doing so,” Kristi shared.

Her gift directly funds scholarships that remove all financial costs for Girl Scouts attending camp, opening the door to meaningful, memory-making experiences. From swimming in the pool to singing around a campfire, these moments offer more than fun—they foster independence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

Kristi adds, “It is reassuring to know that support of Camp for Every Girl helps open the door to fun and unforgettable camp experiences for so many girls. And these adventures lead to a lifetime of healthy benefits including increased confidence, independence, personal growth, and esteem! And THAT, to me, is the power of philanthropy.”

We are deeply grateful for Kristi’s belief in the potential of every girl and her commitment to building brighter futures, one campfire at a time.

Joining the Juliette Gordon Low Society is a powerful way to be part of something bigger. Every gift—no matter the size—helps ensure that girls continue to lead with courage, confidence, and character.

Let your legacy light the way for the next generation of leaders.
