Girl Scout Day at the Statehouse 2026

Girl Scout Day at the Statehouse 2026: Advocacy in Action & America 250 Celebration!

Join Girl Scouts from all over Indiana for Girl Scout Day at the Statehouse as we celebrate 250 years of American independence and explore the power of civic action in shaping our nation's future. This flagship program invites Girl Scouts to step into the heart of democracy, where decisions are made, voices are heard, and leaders are born.

For two and a half centuries, courageous individuals have spoken up, stood together, and driven change in their communities and country. Now, it's our girls' turn to continue that legacy. Through immersive activities, inspiring conversations, and hands-on advocacy experiences, Girl Scouts will learn how their voices and ideas can influence laws, policies, and the future of our democracy.

Program Highlights

Meet State Leaders & Policy Makers: Hear directly from legislators, advocates, and civic leaders about how they create change - and how girls can too.

Advocacy Skill-Building: Participate in scenario-based workshops where girls practice identifying issues, crafting messages, and delivering them to decision-makers.

History Meets Leadership: Explore the major milestones of American democracy and connect the lessons of the past 250 years to today's most pressing challenges.

Girls Lead the Way: Work together to propose ideas for positive change in Indiana - and learn how to take the next steps toward action in your community.

Badge & Award Progress: Complete requirements toward Girl Scout civics, advocacy, and public impact badges while earning an exclusive America 250 "Advocacy in Action" fun patch.
