Year-End Review
The Impact of Girl Scouts
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.
We are Girl Scouts Girl Scouts create the world they want to live in and strive to make it better every single day. They explore their strengths, take on new challenges, and can always be themselves, no matter their background or ability. Girl Scout Mission To build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
Many employers worldwide report that job candidates lack the social and emotional skills to succeed. Together, we’re making an impact that will last a lifetime. With heartfelt gratitude,
