Girl Scouts extends beyond our communities – across the country and the globe. All Girl Scouts look different and have different personalities, religious beliefs, abilities, and passions. At the Volunteer Connections meeting on Monday, February 13, volunteers came together to discuss how to celebrate diversity and inclusion for Girl Scouts through different programs, traditions, ceremonies, and awards. The meeting had a range of Girl Scout levels represented from a first-year Daisy leader to the leader of a 12-grade Ambassador troop.
