Today, girls in Ohio are resilient, but they face many challenges.
How can we help them? The four Girl Scout councils serving Ohio worked together to gather hard-hitting data to evaluate the state of girls, and what we found is shocking.
Please download and read the Ohio: State of the Girl Report to learn about the challenges today's girls are facing—and the steps we can take to support them.
Then, share this report. Ohio's girls need advocates, mentors, and opportunities to tackle the struggles they face physically, socially, mentally, and academically. Collectively, the more we understand what girls are experiencing, the more ways we can ignite change.
Most of all: Families and leaders, keep doing the amazing work you do. Girls' capacity to thrive increases when they have safe spaces to grow emotionally and physically, when they are surrounded by supportive adults, when they are introduced to new experiences that help them develop new skills, and when they stay physically active and socially connected. You play a key role, and Girl Scouts does too.
Help us build a future where girls can build more confidence, grow skills for the future, and have the tools they need to lead fulfilling lives!
