A Day of Civic Inspiration: Free & Open to the Public

Campaign & Election. This unique, two-part event (offered free and open to the public) invites girls of all

ages to explore how government works, why their voices matter, and how they can step into leadership

roles in their communities and beyond.

Part One: Girl Scouts in Government Day (11:30 AM – 12:30 PM)

In partnership with Ms President US, Girl Scouts in Government Day offers an engaging, fast-paced

introduction to civics, leadership, and activism. Led by Alison Smith (Ms President US leader and board

member, and Girl Scout Troop 50373 leader) participants will rotate through interactive, mentor-led

stations designed to spark curiosity and confidence.

Participants will explore:

-Activating Your Girl Power: Why girls in government matter

-How Voting Works: Including alternative systems

-Understanding Government: Local, state, and federal structures

-Activism in Action: How to create meaningful change

Participants will complete a scavenger hunt-style questionnaire, encouraging active learning as they visit

each station. Ms President US high school mentors, many of whom are also Girl Scouts, will guide each

experience, creating a powerful peer-to-peer learning environment. A special feature includes a book

signing and resource station led by Senior Girl Scout Emily Smith, as part of her Gold Award Project. All

participants who complete the stations will receive a commemorative patch at no cost. (Girl Scout badges

associated with the experience can be purchased separately by troops.)

Part Two: Ms President US Signature Campaign & Election (1:00 PM – 2:30 PM)

Girls and their families are invited to witness democracy in action.

From 1:00-2:30 PM, the Clune Center will transform into a vibrant election space where girls can:

Election winners will be announced at approximately 2:15 PM, followed by a celebratory cupcake reception

for all attendees.
