We’re excited to share some great news! Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida has received a generous grant from the Collier Community Foundation, making it possible for even more girls in Collier County to experience all that Girl Scouts has to offer.

This funding is especially important because it tackles some big challenges girls face today. The State of the Florida Girl Report shows that girls across the state are dealing with growing pressures related to their mental, emotional, academic, and physical wellbeing. Programs like Girl Scouts provide a safe, supportive space where girls can build confidence, explore their strengths, and try new things—helping them grow in all areas of life.

With this grant, local troops in Collier County will have the resources they need to participate fully in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE). That means uniforms, badges, troop supplies, program fees, and transportation to activities—everything that makes it possible for girls to be part of the fun, hands-on learning that Girl Scouts is known for.

Girl Scouts is about more than badges and outings. It’s about helping girls develop courage, resilience, and leadership skills while supporting their overall wellbeing. Whether they’re learning a new skill, working together on a team project, or discovering a passion they never knew they had, girls in Girl Scouts are growing academically, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Thanks to the Collier Community Foundation, even more girls can experience the confidence-building, life-changing programs that Girl Scouts provides. We can’t wait to see the amazing things these girls will accomplish!
