What is the Event?
This engaging, drop-in event is open to the public and designed to spark the interest of our youngest citizens, particularly Girl Scouts in grades PK-5. Participating girls will:
- Learn about local, state, and national government.
- Discover how young people can make a positive impact in their community.
- Earn a citizenship or democracy badge, aligning with their Girl Scout level.
How Can You Make A Difference?
The event features an expo-style format with interactive, hands-on activities with elected leaders in town, state and national positions. We encourage participation from representatives across different political parties to create a positive and empowering environment and event. Bring a kid-friendly activity of your own or use one provided by Girl Scouts. With busy hands, please take the opportunity to explain "who, what, where, when, and how" of your role and branch of government and how your work impacts the community.
Engaging Activities
The event goes beyond presentations! Here are some highlights from past events:
- Photo opportunities at the dais
