Shana Tova! Wishing you a sweet new year filled with good health, peace, happiness, and prosperity. Happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate.

By joining Girl Scouts, our youth participants become automatically connected to a network of peers and mentors from around the world. Troop 68085's Journey through London is a perfect example of this specific Girl Scout magic. A group of Girl Scout Ambassadors from Tyngsboro made their way "across the pond" last month for WAGGGS Pax Lodge's weeklong Girl Scouting event. During their visit they got to tour the city, participate in Girl Scout traditions from around the world, and attend a pinning ceremony at Pax Lodge. The group's troop leader, Marina, reported that they "were welcomed by an amazing staff and made some great new friends while staying at the Lodge."

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Let's honor the richness of Hispanic cultures throughout the year, not just today. You and the Girl Scout in your life have a unique opportunity to explore an exclusive patch: #HispanicHeritageMonth #GirlScouts

While working towards their Girl Scout Bronze Award, six members of Troop 70542 identified stress and anxiety as a problem that affected many of their peers and other members of their community. To help address this problem, these Bronze Award Girl Scouts designed and hosted a three-hour Mental Wellness Fair at their local library. Their programming included book recommendations, DIY Mental Wellness kit suggestions, Girl-Scout-led yoga, and a discussion with a nutrition intern. We are so proud of these empathetic and hardworking Girl Scouts who made this wonderful event possible. Great job, all!

As part of National Grid’s New England Week of Service, GSEMA hosted volunteers to paint picnic benches at Camp Wind-in-the-Pines in Plymouth. We are so grateful for their company's partnership, which helps us to support our Outdoor Skills programming and annual STEM Fest.

At Girl Scouts, we believe in the power of every person to make a difference. That’s why the National Civic Action: Promote the Vote is helping Girl Scouts learn about the democratic process and civic engagement. Though they may not yet vote, their voices are crucial in shaping our democracy. This is how you and the Girl Scout(s) in your life can get involved: https://lnkd.in/eU7MuCar
