Postcards from Adventure: Special Notes from Girl Scouts

Because of caring supporters like you, Girl Scouts are able to pack their bags, make new friends, try new adventures, and create unforgettable camp memories. The sweet thank-you notes below share, in their own words, just how much your generosity meant to them.

Elena (Camp Shantituck)

My name is Elena I am going to Camp Shantituck. Thank you for donating to let me go to camp. Because of you, I get to spend time making new friends, learning how to camp, and learning how to be the best Girl Scout I can be. I will sing songs, make SWAPS, go fishing and hiking, and get to do a real sleepover all because of you!

Peyton (Camp Pennyroyal)

Camp means so much to me. I learn so much and get to see friends I only see at camp. Thank you for choosing to support my love of camp.

Avery (Bear Creek Aquatic Camp)

Thank you for helping me go to camp. I have never been to camp but really like Girl Scouts. I have so much fun at Girl Scouts and have learned a lot.

Braylee (Camp Whippoorwill)

Thank you for allowing me to go to this camp again. I went for the first time last year and had so much fun. I still talk about the things we did! I met a little girl there that is now in my class this year at school.

Hayden (Travel)

Thank you for supporting our Girl Scout troop and helping make our summer trip possible. Because of your generosity, I get to travel and visit our home city of Chicago, which means a lot to me. This trip will help me learn about where I come from, grow as a Girl Scout, and make special memories with my friends My mom works very hard for us, and opportunities like this wouldn't be possible without donors like you. I’m thankful that you believe in us and support Girl Scouts like me.

OLivia (Camp Houchens)

The first planned gift in the Girl Scout Movement came from our founder, Juliette Gordon Low. After converting the carriage house of her home into the first Girl Scout national headquarters, she gifted the property to Girl Scouts in her will. Become a member of the Juliette Gordon Low Society and carry on her legacy by making Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana a beneficiary of your estate plans.

Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Featured on ABC’s Good Morning America

On May 14, seven older Girl Scouts had the rare opportunity to meet General Motors CEO Mary Barra and explore the world of innovation at Bowling Green Assembly.

Thanks to a special opportunity made possible through new GSK Board Member Amber Hopper, seven older Girl Scouts traveled to the General Motors Bowling Green Assembly for a unique experience that included meeting and interviewing with Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors.

This was an amazing opportunity for them to meet a woman leading at the highest level of a major global company and hear about her journey. They asked great questions and represented Girl Scouts so beautifully. We couldn’t be more proud of how they showed up. The day also included a behind-the-scenes tech talk with Corvette Master Engine Builder Jennifer Putman, a tour of the Bowling Green Assembly Plant, and time exploring the National Corvette Museum.

Being a Girl Scout truly opens doors to one-of-a-kind opportunities.
