This week, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) celebrated our 108th birthday! Since our founding by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912, Girl Scouts have lived by our motto—“be prepared.” As a Movement, we support one another and the girls we serve to learn what it means to be personally prepared and ready to be of service to their communities during challenging times, like the one we’re experiencing now due to COVID-19 (coronavirus).

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!
