Girl Scouts: Serving Military Families Where They Serve
“As a military family making moves across the country, I’m grateful that Girl Scouts has been there, and not only for my child, but for me, too!” – Kim Dodson
Supporting Military Families
From Massachusetts to California and Brazil to Beijing, Girl Scouts is proud to serve military families across our country and the world. Each day, we’re inspired by the sisterhood of military-connected girls and volunteers who live and breathe our Girl Scout Promise to serve our country and continue to make a difference (and have fun!) while doing it.
No matter where a family’s military service takes girls, Girl Scouts is at the ready with tried-and-true programming and a supportive network that allows girls to continue their unique leadership journeys; build new friendships; and enjoy a reliable, safe space of their own.
Our military men and women—and their families—continue to set a stunning example living lives of courage, confidence and character that make the world a better place.

Giving Voice to Those Who Serve at Home
Hero Kids Foundation is proud to announce the launch of their Humanities at WHRO youth media initiative, a unique opportunity for military kids ages 9-17 to learn videography, storytelling and multimedia design. Participants will have the opportunity to create videos that reflect their individual stories, perspectives, and their experiences as a ‘military kid’ and share them at the end of the program.
Applications are due March 31, with interviews and selections taking place in early April.
