Our members across the country, particularly Black Girl Scouts and their families, are deeply hurting in the wake of yet another senseless killing of an unarmed Black man, George Floyd, which followed the tragic deaths of several other Black people recently and throughout the history of our country as a result of racism. As an organization committed to striving for racial equality, we at Girl Scouts fully support our Black Girl Scout sisters and are working with our colleagues and communities Movement-wide to ensure that future generations of Black girls never have to face the fear and trauma that today’s generation confronts in their day-to-day lives. 

Beginning this May, take the national Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge, made possible by funding from Johnson & Johnson!  Summer is the perfect time to celebrate our love of the outdoors. While safely socially distancing, explore the outdoors from your window, front step, laptop or the wide open trail!

For her Bronze Award project, Junior Girl Scout Chloe M., Troop 590 in Waipahu is having an immediate impact during this challenging time. Chloe is creating reusable facemasks for the first responders and healthcare workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 outbreak. She was inspired to start her project after hearing about the facemask shortages.

Girls are first at Girl Scouts. And they always will be. Girl Scouts is her home turf, her go-to place where she’s free to try new things and just be herself, no matter what her interests are. And now there’s even more to explore, with new badges in robotics, outdoor adventuring, cybersecurity, and environmental stewardship—to name just a few! Join or volunteer today, and give her the tools to shine!
