Girl Scouts Build a Better World
SPOILER ALERT: Girl Scouts totally rocked the 90th Anniversary Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade® this year!
While
America was getting ready for turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie,
amazing Girl Scouts took to the streets of Manhattan with marching
bands, high-flying balloons, and their very own float to showcase the
awesome things Girl Scouts everywhere do to make the world a better
place.
It was super exciting!
Girl Scouts have been taking the lead to make the world a better
place for more than 100 years. And now, for the first time, a
nationwide audience of over 50 million was able to see how girls of
courage, confidence, and character get things done!
As
the float made its way through the streets of New York City, girls
were "building a better world" by arranging giant 3-D puzzle
pieces to form a globe. The float featured activities that represent
what Girl Scouts past and present have done and continue to do as they
take action locally and globally. From discovering new things and
participating in outdoor adventures to developing entrepreneurship
skills and exploring science, technology, engineering, and math
(STEM), Girl Scouts are on a mission to positively impact our
world.
Along with the giant puzzle, the float featured
two dozen "embroidered" Girl Scout badges rendered in
beautiful detail and representing everything from STEM and the
outdoors to financial literacy and entrepreneurship—as well as a Gold
Award symbol that celebrates this year's centennial of Girl Scouts'
highest award.
And guess what? Very special musical
guests Maddie and Tae joined the Girl Scouts on the float as it made
its way to Herald Square—awesome!
