Girl Scout Day at the Statehouse 2026: Advocacy in Action &
America 250 Celebration!
Celebrating 250 Years of
Democracy - and the Next Generation of Changemakers
Join
us for a once-in-a-generation Girl Scout Day at the Indiana Statehouse
as we celebrate 250 years of American independence and explore the
power of civic action in shaping our nation's future. This flagship
program invites Girl Scouts to step into the heart of democracy, where
decisions are made, voices are heard, and leaders are born.
For two and a half centuries, courageous individuals have
spoken up, stood together, and driven change in their communities and
country. Now, it's our girls' turn to continue that legacy. Through
immersive activities, inspiring conversations, and hands-on advocacy
experiences, Girl Scouts will learn how their voices and ideas can
influence laws, policies, and the future of our democracy.
Program Highlights
Meet State Leaders & Policy
Makers: Hear directly from legislators, advocates, and civic leaders
about how they create change - and how girls can too.
Advocacy Skill-Building: Participate in scenario-based workshops where
girls practice identifying issues, crafting messages, and delivering
them to decision-makers.
History Meets Leadership:
Explore the major milestones of American democracy and connect the
lessons of the past 250 years to today's most pressing
challenges.
Girls Lead the Way: Work together to propose
ideas for positive change in Indiana - and learn how to take the next
steps toward action in your community.
Badge & Award
Progress: Complete requirements toward Girl Scout civics, advocacy,
and public impact badges while earning an exclusive America 250
"Advocacy in Action" fun patch.
