Girl Scouts is #ForEVERYGirl!

Girl Scouts has been incredibly vocal about their inclusivity and support of ALL girls lately. Recently, a friend shared this awesome article with me:

#ForEVERYGirl: Girl Scouts return donation for important, inspiring reason


Check out what the Girl Scouts of Western Washington are accomplishing!


A brief synopsis of what happened- The Girl Scouts of Western Washington 
received a $100,000 donation-an amazing amount of money that can provide a ton of opportunities and resources to the 500+ members of their GSA community

However, this amazing donation had a catch...The donor requested that Girl Scouts not use the money to support transgender girls.

The organization politely returned the money to the donor, and have started an INDIEGOGO campaign and social media campaign entitled #ForEVERYGirl in order to raise awareness and show support for ALL girls, as well as to raise the money that they had to give back.
The money will support Girls by sending them to camp, helping to pay for dues, uniforms, membership fees, and a ton of other great programs
For more info about where all of the $$ will go, click here.


In the past three days, Girl Scouts of Western Washington has raised over triple their goal-$308,525!
Use the #ForEVERYGirl on Twitter to show your support or share your story, and click HERE to check out the IndieGoGo page for more info/to donate!


Much love and much support,
Gold Girl Allie
