A year-long program empowering girls in Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading, PA
to lead the change they want to see in their neighborhoods.
Let’s provide them with the opportunity, support, safety, skills, and adult guidance they need to turn their visions into reality.
Calling All Girl Bosses was developed by Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) as a blueprint to give Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading girls in grades 6-12 the skills they need to identify a community problem and Take Action to find a solution. Driven by passion, determination, and a desire to make the world a better place, girls will discover their agency to make real sustainable changes in their neighborhoods while working towards the highest awards in Girl Scouting.
The program kicks-off in September 2025 and runs through May 2026. Working alongside their peers and with the support of volunteers and mentors, girls will participate in 12 three-hour workshops held at safe locations in the community.
