Throughout the month of February, we're celebrating Black History Month! We invite Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys to join us as we explore stories of world-changing Black women and girls from the past and present, while learning more about the cultures, histories, and traditions of the Black and African American community members. Girl Scouts of all levels can earn the Black History Month Fun Patch by completing activities that honor the cultures and contributions of Black Americans. Read on for resources to help you and your Girl Scout make the most of this important month!
What is Black History Month?
Black History Month is an annual celebration of Black culture and heritage, created to focus attention on the many important contributions of African Americans to the United States. Here's a video about how it got started in 1926.
