On September 27, we took to Twitter to engage the community in a discussion on the power of all-girl, girl-led organizations with ABC 11 news anchor Tisha Powell for #GirlsLeadChat. During the chat, Tisha shared how her Girl Scout experiences influenced her professional and personal development, speaking to the value of girl empowering organizations. “Girl Scouts gives girls the opportunity to grow with and be mentored by other girls experiencing similar situations,” she shared in a tweet, “Those relationships are so important.”

Girl Scouts USA and other affiliates joined in on the conversation, contributing questions and providing their own insight on the role Girl Scouts plays in developing girls into leaders of their communities. Didn’t get the opportunity to participate? No worries! A conversation that addresses the importance of girl empowerment should never end. We encourage you to continue the discussion by sharing your thoughts and questions in the comments below.
