Girl Scouts welcomed a gift of $17,000 from the United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States to support Girl Scouts in the Greater Dubuque Region.
“United Way’s continuous support creates amazing opportunities for local girls,” says Diane Nelson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. “They’re an essential partner to building girls of courage, confidence, and character.”
To create kind, confident, and competent leaders, the Girl Scout program centers around the outdoors, STEM, life skills, and entrepreneurship. Activities for Girl Scouts are fun and research-backed, with each badge, field trip, and event building independence, creativity, and resilience.
