Advocacy and Public Policy
Girl Scouts’ Office in Washington, DC
Our Public Policy
and Advocacy Office works across party lines with Congress and the
Executive Branch to educate and raise awareness about issues important
to girls and young women. Through our efforts, we demonstrate to
policymakers that Girl Scouts is a resource—and an authority—on issues
affecting girls and Girl Scouting.
Policy Agenda
Every year, in partnership with our 111
Girl Scout councils, we develop a federal policy agenda (PDF) to advance key
issues and promote leadership opportunities for girls, including:
-
Inspire Greater Civic Engagement and Civic Education
-
Strengthen Girls' Financial LIteracy and Business Skills
- Expand Girls' Access to Outdoor Exploration
-
Fuel Girls' Passion for STEM
- Uphold a Srong Nonprofit Community
A similar state policy agenda (PDF) is used by our Girl
Scout councils across the country to initiate dialogue on relevant
issues with their state public officials.
Girl Scout Advocacy Center
As the
leading voice for girls, Girl Scouts plays a key role in substantively
addressing issues that affect girls. Join us to make sure these issues get the
attention they deserve, and to make a difference in your community and
across the nation.
