GUIDANCE ON PARTICIPATION IN DEMONSTRATIONS, PROTESTS, AND MARCHES

At Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital, we support girls who choose to raise their voices on causes they support. ​

We respect the rights of each individual youth and adult member of our Movement to make their own decisions about participating in demonstrations, protests or marches in support of causes they care about. ​

Girls and troops may wear their Girl Scout uniform or tee shirt ONLY if participation is linked to a specific Take Action project in pursuit of a Girl Scout journey or higher award. ​

We encourage all members to be mindful of the possibility of violence and ensure parental permission for any girls or troops that participate.​

We at Girl Scout Nation’s Capital strive to help each girl tap into her leadership potential and use her voice to build a more just community.
