Girl Scouts are known for their commitment to making the world a
better place. By taking an interest in voting and civics, they can
channel their passion into actionable change and bring about
improvements in their communities and beyond. By actively
participating in civic life, Girl Scouts can break down barriers and
create a society that aligns with their values.
Learning about
the voting process and civic engagement can provide a platform for
Girl Scouts to stand up for causes they believe in. Through the Civics
badges, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors will gain an in-depth
understanding of how local, state, and federal government works,
equipping them to be voters, activists, and even political leaders.
Working with the League of Women Voters of Austin, offers an even
deeper dive into our local communities election process.
By the
end of the session, Girl Scouts will have earned their Civics badge
(Finding Common Ground for Cadettes, Behind the Ballot for Seniors,
and Public Policy for Ambassadors). Let's shape the future-together!
