The final SWAPS have been exchanged and the suitcases are tucked away, but the energy and excitement of the Girl Scouts Unite event continues to inspire. From interactive workshops and fascinating speakers to incredible performances and epic celebrations, the experiences shared by thousands of attendees in Washington, DC ignite the next chapter of the Girl Scout Movement with a bright spark of hope for the future.
“There is nothing more powerful than Girl Scouts coming together to discover what they’re capable of and what they can create together,” said Bonnie Barczykowski, CEO of GSUSA. “The Girl Scouts Unite event was a celebration of girls’ voices, ideas, and leadership—and a reminder that when girls are supported, encouraged, and connected to one another, they can shape the future in extraordinary ways.”
The Girl Scouts Unite event featured an exciting lineup of speakers, performers, workshops and sessions reflecting the confidence, creativity and resilience at the heart of Girl Scouting. Attendees also had access to more than 100 booths and activities in the Hall of Experiences, along with programming designed for Girl Scouts and adults in the Movement. The event also included major celebrations such as the National Bridging Ceremony, the Gold Award Celebration, community-building moments, and opportunities for Girl Scouts to meet and connect with inspirational leaders who are taking action in their communities.
Bringing an event of this scale to life is no easy task, which is why we are so grateful to the sponsors who helped make this event a reality. Thank you to Meta, Fiserv, Google, General Motors OnStar, Charles Schwab Foundation, MLB, American Girl, DHL Supply Chain and all the sponsors, exhibitors, and supporters who made this event memorable for all the Girl Scouts, alums, volunteers, advocates, friends and families who attended.
Thank you to Girl Scouts Nations Capital for being a wonderful host for this year’s event. We look forward to seeing everyone again in Indianapolis for the next Girl Scouts Unite event in 2029.
