GSEM 2022-2023 Sponsorship Opportunities

According to the 2017 Girl Scout Impact Study, today’s youth need a broad set of skills, behaviors, and attitudes to effectively navigate their environment, work well with others, perform their best, and achieve their goals—competencies that are central to the development of human capital and workforce success around the world. Yet, there is a profound gap between the knowledge and skills most youth learn in school and the knowledge and skills needed in 21st century communities and workplaces. For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri has prepared young girls for lives of purpose, commitment, and success. Our progressive skill building and leadership development programs have a lifelong impact. Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, girls are encouraged to seek challenges as growth opportunities and to embrace the adventure that comes with those challenges. In fact, a recent study of Girl Scout Alums found that they are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to have successfully met their personal and professional goals. It is no coincidence that the vast majority of women in leadership roles—in business, in government, and in the sciences—were Girl Scouts as kids. As you look to build the pipeline of future leaders in your company, Girl Scouts is an important partner. Whether you brand a patch program, lend your business expertise to a Live from Girl Scouts episode, or support one of our annual events, your contribution directly impacts Girl Scouts every year. We are pleased to present you with opportunities for partnership in 2022-2023 and invite you to consider all of the ways you and your company may help us in building CHOOSE YOUR GIRL SCOUT ADVENTURES

and sustaining a dynamic pipeline of leadership. We ask you to Choose Your Girl Scout Adventure.

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Bonnie Barczykowski Chief Executive Officer
