Sign Girl Scouts Stands Against Racism Pledge HERE
No girl, or any young person, should grow up in a world defined by racial inequities and trauma. No person of color should fear for their lives because of the color of their skin.
We know that words alone cannot take away the pain of institutional racism felt by generations of person of color families who have navigated a world informed by white privilege. Words cannot erase society’s collective failure to truly value every human being.
These are our promises to you.
Whether you're a parent/caregiver or Girl Scout troop leader, offering a safe space for your girl to talk about important issues is vital. Review these resources as you navigate discussions.

Girl Scouting is a partnership between girls, volunteers and families. To be responsive to girls’ needs and interests in challenging times where personal values and experiences may be part of a "safe space" conversation, we request that troop leaders seek permission from families first.
