Grades K-12: Join us at the Minnesota State Capitol to learn how to speak out, Girl Scout! At Girl Scout Day at the Capitol, you will explore the historic Capitol building, learn about civics and government, meet local legislators, and practice your advocacy skills. You'll reflect on the issues that matter to you and learn how to change your community for the better!
This is an open-house-style event where you can move at your own pace. There will be interactive activities at tables throughout the Rotunda and Vault, as well as architecture tours of the building with the American Institute of Architects, opportunities to meet lawmakers, lawyers, and other professionals, and more. You might even find inspiration to complete a Take Action or Highest Award project. This special event will welcome Girl Scouts from all across Minnesota!
By attending Day at the Capitol, you will earn an exclusive Day at the Capitol participation patch and receive information on how to earn your Democracy badge.
Groups are expected to follow adult/youth ratios as outlined in the Safety Activity Checkpoints. Expect to spend at least an hour and a half doing activities. Parking is not included in the event price. Plan on walking approximately 10 minutes from nearby parking to the Capitol building. The Capitol is easily accessible via light rail and city bus.
