Happy #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay! Entrepreneurship is a big part of the Girl Scout experience, from program sales to council events such as “She’s a Saver!” & “S’more Money Madness.” The Girl Scout Entrepreneurship Progression allows girls to practice the five skills which will serve them for the rest of their lives, including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Empowered by these lessons, Girl Scouts become women with the tools and knowledge they need to take charge of their careers from their very first job. ??

Gracie, Katie, and Elizabeth of Troop 45578 found it easy to identify a problem — and come up with a solution — for their Bronze Award project! ?? Gathering necessities such as warm socks, non-perishable food, toiletries, and first aid items, the girls assembled what they named Blessing Bags, which included uplifting notes in each bag. ?? The girls partnered with their local church so the bags could be distributed during weekly community meals, free clinics, and other gatherings. These three Cadettes learned how their act of kindness warmed hearts as well as feet while earning one of the Highest Awards in Girl Scouting. ???
