All About the Girl Scout Bill
The 2024 Girl Scout Bill ( House File 3564/Senate File 3503) comes to the Minnesota State Legislature at a crucial time to provide mission-critical funding for Girl Scouts across the state. Read on to learn how you can raise your voice and help us get this important legislation across the finish line.
What’s in the bill?
Funding from the Girl Scout Bill will support community engagement pathways and programs that engage girls from all backgrounds, including underserved communities, across the state of Minnesota. We are asking the state to pass this bill which would provide $1 million in funding for the next year, to be shared with sister Girl Scout councils in the north and north central areas of the state.

The Girl Scout Bill funding will support initiatives focused on:
College and career readiness programs to help youth channel their passions, hobbies, and interests toward meaningful careers.
Culturally responsive programming that creates one-of-a-kind spaces where youth can unapologetically celebrate their authentic selves while building community.
Social and emotional supports that enable us to meet youth where they are and help them raise their confidence, build a strong sense of self, and create healthy relationships.
