OFF TO THE CAPITOL WE GO
ToGetHerThere Takes Its Message To Capitol Hill
"When girls succeed, so does society. Together we can get her there." is the mantra behind one of the biggest advocacy and fundraising campaigns dedicated to girls' leadership in history. GSCB was among GSUSA representatives as well as four other Councils in Washington D.C. on February 1 to help launch this monumental campaign. The photo above includes Girl Scouts of the USA national CEO Anna Maria Chavez, Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay CEO Anne Hogan, the CEOs of neighboring councils, staff, and girls. Two of the girls are from our council. We were so proud to have had such great representation from our Council. More information about ToGetHerThere can be found here. Take the pledge, and take action!
