Stephen Geri explains why Girl Scouts of America is a great nonprofit organization to get involved with and donate to. From educating young girls on leadership skills and the importance of learning to helping them develop great social skills to build healthy relationships, Girl Scouts is an organization that should not be overlooked.

2. • The Girl Scouts of the United State of America advocates strong
leadership opportunities for girls growing up.
• This program is influential in many ways, especially when it comes to
advocating for important issues in our society.

3. • To begin with, Girl Scouts encourages healthy living opportunities
for girls.
• By increasing access to outdoor activities, girls learn from a young
age to be connected with nature and to familiarize themselves
with outdoor survival skills.

4. • In addition to educating
young girls about the
importance of spending
time outside, the program
reduces bullying and
relational aggression in
attempts to promote and
create healthy relationship
skills.

5. • Girl Scouts also promotes
economic opportunities
and teaches girls the
importance of gender
equality.
• Through activities and
educational events, Girl
Scouts increases girls’
involvement with
engineering, math,
technology, and science.

6. • It also strengthens girls’ financial
literacy and entrepreneurial skills
by giving them the confidence
that they can learn and excel in
everything they do.
• In addition, Girl Scouts promotes
a global voice for all girls by
fostering global citizenship and
supports a strong nonprofit
community and girl scout
experience, teaching girls from a
young age the importance of
helping those in need.

7. • Girl Scouts was founded
by Juliette “Daisy” Gordon
Low in Savannah, Georgia
on March 12th, 1912, when
she assembled 18 girls into
a meeting.
• At the meeting, Daisy
spoke about her thoughts
on how girls should be
given the opportunity to
develop spiritually,
mentally, and physically
without being isolated in
at-home environments.

8. • A few years later, Daisy’s
dream became an
organization centered
around the needs for
young girls and is now part
of an even larger
organization that more
than 59 million women in
the United States has
been a part of.
