Girl Scouting, which celebrated 100 years of success in 2012, is continuing its outreach in its second century through the ToGetHerThere campaign. The critical goal: achieving gender-balanced leadership in one generation, to benefit all of society.
All are invited to a luncheon April 12 at the Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn more about building female leadership for a better world. Register online at girlscoutsgwm.org or call 627-4158. Tickets are $75.
New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan and U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte will speak. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen will send a recorded message. Each of these leading women was a Girl Scout. Another guest of honor will be a Girl Scout who wrote a winning essay on How I’m Getting There.
Every girl has the ability to lead. But only one girl in five believes she can (Pew Research Center, Girl Scout Research Institute). The goal of the long-term campaign is to create gender-balanced leadership within one generation. We all have a role to play in helping girls achieve their leadership potential.
ToGetHerThere is a national cause campaign that is focused on raising money and awareness to overcome the obstacles that hinder young women from achieving and leading in all fields, from technology and science to business and industry and public service. Together, we will get her there.
Donations from sponsorships and ticket sales will allow Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains to continue to offer leadership programming in areas such as science, technology, engineering and math (STEM subjects), environmental leadership, financial literacy, teamwork, public service and healthy living.
