What does it mean to be a citizen? How do laws get made? Who leads our communities-and how can you be a part of it all?
 

In this hands-on program, Girl Scouts will dive into the foundations of civics and government through interactive activities, creative problem-solving, and real-world connections. Whether you're just beginning to explore these topics or already a US government expert, this experience will help you build the knowledge and confidence to be an active and informed citizen.

Girl Scouts will:

  • Explore different government roles and what they do
  • Learn how a bill becomes a law-and create one of their own
  • Meet and ask questions of a local civic leader

 

The thinking, questioning, and learning you do today is just the beginning! You can return to this program each year to grow your civic knowledge, sharpen your leadership skills, and be ready for future opportunities like the National Civics Bee.
 

All participants will earn their Foundations of Democracy patch and earn their Democracy badge.
