Podcast: Courage, Confidence and Character at Girl Scouts of Colorado
Most of us think about cookies when we think about The Girl Scouts, but the organization is about so much more than Thin Mints.
In this episode of Good & Grounded, which spotlights the Colorado leaders, nonprofits and businesses making a difference in our communities, we talk with Girl Scouts of Colorado CEO Leanna Clark and two high school graduates who recently earned their Gold Award, the highest achievement a Girl Scout can receive.
Listen to Clark and Girl Scouts Grace Bielefeldt and Elizabeth Gumper discuss:
- The organization’s dynamic programming in STEM, entrepreneurship, outdoor adventure and life skills
- The creative ways Colorado’s troops approached selling cookies and staying connected during the pandemic
- The community projects that Grace and Elizabeth launched during their time as Girl Scouts, including an art installation to highlight youth mental health and a program that helps students discover a variety of real-world careers
