Spring 2022 Inspire Discovery

Her Future is Our Future

Spring 2022 Inspire Discovery

Girl Scout Families,

Welcome to the spring 2022 edition of Inspire Discovery ! As we look forward to the changing seasons and warmer weather ahead, I am pleased to share with you a plethora of new programs and opportunities that provide a space for her imagination to grow, her dreams to develop and her world to broaden through hands-on adventures. Each year, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri executes its mission to build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Through Girl Scouting, girls develop the skills needed to lead today and in the future. It is no coincidence the vast majority of women in leadership roles—in business, in government and in the sciences—were Girl Scouts as kids. There is no greater investment than in the next generation and I am honored to share with our Girl Scout families a big announcement! Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri has launched the largest-ever investment in girl leadership development in our region designed to ensure that every girl, today and for generations to come, has the opportunity to be the leader she wants to be. I invite you to turn to pgs. 5-11 to learn more about the Her Future is Our Future Campaign and be inspired by some of the investments that have already been made by our generous community supporters. During the coming weeks and months, we will keep our Girl Scout families updated with announcements on the exciting new projects that lay ahead and will enhance the Girl Scout experience for years to come.

Our team of Girl Scout staff, volunteers and Her Future is Our Future committee members are committed to ensuring we build a talent pipeline filled with girls who will make our world a better place. Our collective future depends on it. I encourage you to set aside time in your busy family schedule to peruse the upcoming programs with the Girl Scout in your life. From space camp to archery to photography, there is an adventure for every girl and with your encouragement she will experience more and dream bigger!

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Bonnie Barczykowski CEO, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri
