March 12, 2012 Blogger Day: The Call to a New CenturyIn a distinctly modern version of Juliette Gordon Low's historic call that launched the movement, Girl Scouts and a broad-based coalition of likeminded individuals will mark Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary by focusing their messages on issues facing today's girls and by encouraging readers to invest in girls and their futures. April 2012 Advocacy Day: Bringing the Voice of Girls to Capitol HillIn June 2012, council CEOs and one board member from each council will call on each member of congress who serve the council's members. The objective is to further legitimize Girl Scouts as a leader in regard to girls' issues; gain momentum around advocacy for girls' needs and to garner support for the upcoming State of Girls Summit.
