Happy Holidays from Girl Scouts of Western Ohio! As 2016 comes to a close, let’s all (parents, volunteers, alumnae, and staff) take a moment to reflect on why we’re part of the Girl Scout movement.

Why do we do what we do? We do it for the girls, of course! Because of Girl Scouts, girls are more confident, more courageous, and more prepared to be the leaders of their own lives. And that’s pretty cool!

Here are a few of our favorite stories of Western Ohio girls leading the way to brighten your holiday break and revitalize you for 2017!

Because of Girl Scouts, I am Courageous: Mission Specialist Sam!

Because of Girl Scouts, I am a Problem Solver: Hadiya Goes for Gold!

Because of Girl Scouts, I am an Animal Advocate: Cheetah Conservationist Whitney!

Because of Girl Scouts I am Helping My Community: Ella’s Bumble Bands!

How are your girls leading the way with Girl Scouts? We’ve all got great stories of how girls are making the world a better place as they grow with grace and grit. Don’t forget to share those stories this holiday season. Spread a little Girl Scout cheer to your family, your troop, and your community and show them what it means to lead like a girl!

Girls of western Ohio, you amaze us! We cannot wait to help guide you through another year of discovery, wonder, and growth in 2017.

Are you ready to lead like a Girl Scout? Let’s go!
