The University of Denver's Women's Basketball team invites Girl Scouts, their families, and friends to cheer on the DU Pioneers as they take on the North Dakota Fighting Hawks at the Hamilton Gymnasium at DU Saturday, Jan. 20, at 1 p.m. During halftime, DU will offer prizes to Girl Scouts and their families and friends.

DU has invited Girl Scout Corinne to sing the National Anthem during the game’s opening ceremony and local a Girl Scout troop to act as the color guard. “I never imagined I would get the chance to sing in front of hundreds of people. I’m so grateful being a Girl Scout gave me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” says Girl Scout Senior Corinne from Highlands Ranch.

Before the game at 11:30 a.m., Girl Scout attendees will sit down and hear from Coach Doshia Woods to learn more about 2023/2024 team, the importance of sportsmanship, building character through sports, resiliency, and the importance of being a part of a team.
