Gifts for Girls

Girl Scouting changes lives. Gifts for Girls, our annual giving campaign, provides the financial resources necessary to ensure all girls have access to programs and experiences that prepare them as critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, community stewards, and ready leaders. Together, we are developing girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Every gift makes a difference to our girls.

Make a gift of $25 or more to receive a Gifts for Girls patch. Patches are available at the Girl Scouts Shop located at 2300 Ball Drive with proof of donation.

Planning an estate gift to Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is one way to support the future of our girls. Because most planned gifts are given after a lifetime, current lifestyles aren’t affected.

The Juliette Gordon Low Society honors friends who have named Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri in their wills or other planned gifts.

Through these legacy gifts, members support the organization's continued vitality and ensure that Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri continues to offer relevant and robust leadership development programs for future generations of Girl Scouts.

Membership is open to all who establish a planned gift to benefit Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.
