Girls should never be told what's beautiful -- they should get to decide for themselves! That's why GSUSA continues to partner with Dove and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) on Free Being Me, a campaign that helps girls develop confidence and a healthier self-image. Download the Free Being Me Leader Guide and take the girls in your life through this fun, inspiring program. They can complete cool projects and earn an awesome patch. Most important, they'll gain self-confidence and the resources to inspire other girls, because self-esteem is beautiful!

Girls and Financial Literacy |
April is Financial Literacy Month. Do you know that girls see a future in which they are financially independent and empowered, but only 12 percent feel "very confident" making financial decisions? The Girl Scout Research Institute study, Having it All: Girls and Financial Literacy, is a basis for ongoing work being done by Girl Scouts to change that confidence level for girls. Watch for more ways to help the girls in your life be better equipped for a financially fit future! |
