New Jersey State Capital Dome to Shine in Girl Scout Green: Celebrating 112 Years of Girl Empowerment
Trenton, NJ (March 11, 2024) — The Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey (GSCSNJ) are thrilled to announce that in recognition of the enduring impact and vital contributions of Girl Scouts, the State of New Jersey will mark the 112th birthday of the Girl Scouts in a very special way.
On Tuesday, March 12th, the dome of the State Capital will be illuminated in the iconic Girl Scout green, symbolizing the state's support of the Girl Scouts' mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
This illuminating gesture is a tribute to the over 67,000 Girl Scouts and 35,000 Girl Scout Adult volunteers across four Councils1 in the state who bring the organization's impactful programming to life. GSCSNJ, which includes the Trenton region, proudly serves over 13,500 Girl Scouts with the support of over 10,000 volunteers.
Girl Scouts Programming: A Legacy of Leadership and Learning
GSCSNJ has long been at the forefront of providing transformative experiences for girls from all backgrounds. Through an inclusive and supportive environment, GSCSNJ delivers innovative programming that encourages young women to pursue their interests in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), while also fostering a love for the outdoors, community service, and personal development. Girl Scouts age-appropriate programming is designed to empower participants to become leaders in their communities and advocates for change, focusing on the development of essential skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
A Century-Long Tradition of Service and Leadership
The Girl Scouts' legacy is deeply rooted in community service and the cultivation of women leaders. From advocating for climate justice to participating in community projects, Girl Scouts have consistently led the way in making meaningful contributions to society. Notable alumni include groundbreakers and leaders across various fields, such as Sylvia Acevedo, former CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA and a rocket scientist; Robin Roberts, Good Morning America host and Lifetime Girl Scout member; Queen Latifah, Grammy and Emmy Award winning music artist and actor; even, Taylor Swift! These women, among countless others, exemplify the courage, confidence, and character that Girl Scouts aims to instill in every girl, proving that the values and skills learned through Girl Scouting have a lasting impact on individuals and the world at large.
