Celebrate Changemakers
Giving Every Girl Scout the Power to Change the World
Every Girl Scout is a changemaker, and these changemakers are shaping our community’s future.
“The work of today is the history of tomorrow, and we are its
makers.”
– Juliette Gordon Low, Founder of Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts River Valleys invites you to support our annual Celebrate Changemakers event. The goal of the event is to raise critical funds to support the Girl Scout Movement. Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success. Your support will help us continue to provide an inclusive and supportive program to ensure that every girl has the power to change the world.

Meet Our 2023 Changemaker
Honorees
Zhara
“Girl Scouts has given me the skill to take a step back and examine the different steps I need to take to fix situations. I’m able to make sure that the actions I take are in the best interest of the people they affect, and I am always ready to gain new skills and help someone in need.”
– Zhara, 2023 Changemaker Honoree
Natalie
“Girl Scouts empowers me to make change. Many of the take action projects and Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards teach us to make our community a better place by being the change.”
– Natalie, 2023 Changemaker Honoree
