Add a girl and accept the challenge!

Girl Scouts are lucky to have inspiring adults like to you guide and support them. With your leadership, the girls in your troop know that their year will be filled with fun, friendship, and new adventures.

You can share your sense of adventure with more girls today by pledging this November to add one or more girls to your troop! 

GSWPA is excited to launch a challenge for local troops and service units who welcome new girls to Girl Scouting through the G.I.R.L. Agenda Pledge.

For Troops:
  • Every troop that signs GSUSA's G.I.R.L. Agenda Pledge (Nov. 1-Nov. 15) and adds at least one new girl to their troop by Dec. 31* will be entered to win 1 of 5 prizes of $50 added to their troop checking account. 
  • The winning troops will be featured on GSWPA's Facebook page using Facebook Live by May 31.
*Troops must have the correct girl-to-leader ratio to be entered to win. The new girl cannot be previously registered as a Girl Scout.

For Service Units:
  • Every service unit that has at least 50% of their troops participate in the pledge (Nov. 1-Nov. 15) and adds at least one new girl to their troop by Dec. 31, will be entered to win $100 added to their Service Unit account.
  • Every service unit that has at least 75% of their troops participate in the pledge and adds at least one new girl to their troop by Dec 31 will be entered into an additional drawing for a food and beverage prize pack for one of your girl events in the 2018 (up to $150).

In addition to these local council incentives, there's great national prizes, too!
Once the pledge closes, 600 prize winners will be randomly selected to receive a FREE limited-edition G.I.R.L. Agenda patch for their troop. In addition, four grand prize winners will be randomly selected to have GSUSA share their story on Facebook (on Thanksgiving!), as well as receive the patch for their troop. Read the Rules and FAQs.

It all starts with a pledge! Make sure you take the pledge before Nov. 15 to be eligible to win!
