The Impact of Girl Scouts: A Message from the CEO

Hello Girl Scout Family, Donors, and Friends!

As we reflect on the past year, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement to share the incredible impact Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri made in 2024. Together, we reached over 15,000 girls across our 47-county service area, continuing more than a century of empowering girls to lead with courage, confidence, and character. In today’s fast-paced world, youth need a broad set of skills, behaviors, and attitudes to effectively navigate their environments, work collaboratively, perform at their best, and achieve their goals. These competencies—such as perseverance, self-esteem, sociability, and problem-solving—are critical not just for workforce success but for personal and emotional well-being. However, there’s a growing gap between the knowledge and skills youth typically learn in school and those needed in 21st-century communities and workplaces. Many employers worldwide report that job candidates lack the social and emotional skills to succeed. This is where Girl Scouts steps in. We're not just helping girls learn technical skills; we're nurturing their confidence, fostering healthy relationships, and equipping them to tackle challenges head-on. Through meaningful experiences in the arts, civic engagement, entrepreneurship, healthy living, outdoor adventures, STEAM, and skilled trades, Girl Scouts provides the tools for girls to dream big and achieve even bigger. We couldn’t do this impactful work without you! Your unwavering support, dedication, and belief in our mission make it happen. Thanks to you, every girl can access these transformative programs and experiences. Your generosity ensures they not only succeed today but are prepared for a lifetime of leadership and well-being.
