100 Years Old and Still Going Strong

We are thrilled to be celebrating the 100^th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of the USA this year! We have so many exciting plans and so many different ways to celebrate the 100^th that we hope you’ll visit this site over and over again to see what cool new things are happening in honor of Girl Scouting’s biggest anniversary ever.

If you want to get involved, volunteer, or make a donation, please contact marketing@gsneo.org

Millions of active Girl Scouts, volunteers and alumnae will come together to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting. Will you be one of them?

The advent of this milestone provides a unique opportunity to not only reflect on the tremendous contributions the organization has made over the past 100 years but to also rally support for the next century of Girl Scouts.

Our centennial offers girls like you the chance to shape the celebration and take action in ways to define your generation.

REDUCE WASTE

Aluminum Beverage Can Recycling Project
April 28 & September 22
GSNEO Camporees

Join GSNEO in a council-wide effort to REDUCE WASTE by recycling aluminum beverage cans at the Camporees during our 100th Anniversary celebrations. Collect a bag of aluminum cans, bring it to the camporee, and toss in the cans to help fill our bin! We have enough room for 10,000 cans – what impact can we make working together on this project?
Every person bringing cans for recycling will be entered into our drawings for Forever Green Prizes.

Why Recycle Aluminum?
Because recycling aluminum saves so much energy, this is a huge opportunity for consumers to reduce their carbon footprint. In fact, if we could recover and recycle 75% of aluminum cans —600,000 metric tons of aluminum—we could save 1286 megawatts of generated electricity. That's the amount produced by two coal fired power plants. Replacing this production with recycling would keep 11.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from being generated and released into the atmosphere.

100th Anniversary Wall of Honor Tributes

Honor a special adult and/or Girl Scout who has dedicated her/his time and talents to inspire Girl Scouts to realize their potential and dreams. These very special Trefoil Tributes are a great way to say “thank you” or to commemorate any special occasion such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, anniversary or birthday.

Each Trefoil will be displayed separately. There is no limit to the number of Tributes that
may be purchased to honor an individual.

A Wall of Honor Tribute book will be created and distributed at the Something Special event. Honorees who cannot attend the event will receive their book in the mail. To have your special Trefoil displayed at the Something Special event on August 17-18 at the Embassy Suites in Independence, information and payment must be received by July 6, 2012. (Any tributes received after July 6 will be added to the wall after the event.)

The 100th Anniversary Wall of Honor will be displayed throughout the year at the GSNEO Corporate Headquarters and all service area offices, as well as the Something Special event and the 100th Anniversary Dessert First Gala, November 10 at the Embassy Suites Rockside.

Make checks payable to GSNEO and mail in along with the attached form to:
