Strong in Every Way!

Each year Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) celebrates Girl Scouts from every grade level from across our nine-county footprint in a special feature in Spark Magazine called “18 Under 18.”

This year’s Spark magazine theme is "Girl Scouts - Strong In Every Way" and we want to feature YOU! Share why Girl Scouts makes you feel strong, confident, and capable. 

Share your journey, inspire others, and be recognized for the incredible ways you're shaping the future. Apply now for a chance to be highlighted and maybe even end up on the cover of the magazine!

To be considered:

  • Submit a 1-3 sentence answer to each of the questions below.
  • Submit a photo of yourself below (preferably in your Girl Scout gear!)
  • Optional: Submit a 30 second video describing why Girl Scouts makes you feel strong and confident or share an experience about Girl Scouts that helped you grow stronger or more confident.

Please note:

  • GSEP can only consider submissions that include a photograph, and we may edit your text for clarity and length.
  • Caregivers: if necessary, feel free to reword some of these for our younger Girl Scouts in words they can understand.

Selected girls will appear in the Fall 2026 issue of  Spark that will arrive in homes mid-August and receive an exclusive 18 Under 18 patch!

Submissions due Saturday, May 9th.
