Celebrate National Women Support Women Day on December 1, 2022!

Start your December troop meetings by celebrating National Women Support Women Day with your troop and co-leaders.

National Women Support Women Day was established in 2018 to celebrate women for their accomplishments in the arts, politics, education, and other fields. Juliette Gordon Low, our founder, was a strong believer in supporting women and girls.

Starting with a selfless act of selling her pearls, Juliette launched her idea of an organization for girls, led by girls. This resulted in a space for girls to build character and self-sufficiency to make the world a better place.

Her friends honored her efforts by establishing the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund, an organization that finances international projects for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. Her work continues to be carried on today through your hard work as a troop leader, and volunteers that are change makers for their girls, other volunteers, and in their communities.

Celebrate with your Troop by:

  • Sending flowers to your Sister Girl Scouts.
  • Writing a letter with some kind words to someone you admire.
  • Baking a special dessert to share with your friends and family.
  • Teaching girls to lead by example in recognizing each other’s successes.

Celebrate with your Co-leader by:

  • Scheduling regular check-ins with your co-leader to discuss the troop so everyone is on the same page.
  • Taking the time to define your roles in the troop and agree on everyone’s responsibilities.
  • Discussing how you and your team will handle troop conflict, so you both feel prepared to manage any situations that come up.
  • Building a collaborative and supportive space for your troop by being honest and open minded with each other.

We would love to hear how you celebrated National Women Support Women Day. We recognize all of your hard work and thank you for all that you do in supporting the Girl Scout mission! Share your celebrations with us here.
