The Girl Scouts Meet
Modern Challenges
in a COVID-19 World
Gaining confidence and growing from the experience of meeting challenges has always been part of the Girl Scout tradition. Last year, the Girl Scouts of Northern California and Girl Scouts of the
USA debuted 42 new badges to pique the varied interests of girls in grades K-12. From cybersecurity to space science to outdoor adventuring to solve modern problems, fresh learning and leadership opportunities gained momentum. But this spring, the Girl Scouts were confronted with an urgent need to meet an ultra-modern challenge in the COVID-19 health pandemic. With a confident Girl Scouts declaration of “We’ve got this!” troop meetings and scouting activities were reshaped and continue to support girls challenging themselves and mo- bilizing as leaders in a changing world.
