2026 Outstanding Graduating Girl Scouts Awarded Scholarships
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSofSI) is proud to announce that seven members of the Class of 2026 have been awarded the Outstanding Graduating Girl Scout Scholarship.
The Outstanding Graduating Girl Scout Scholarship is awarded to Girl Scouts who demonstrate extraordinary leadership in the Girl Scout movement, in school, and in their communities. Nominees are selected from a panel based on a variety of criteria including a personal essay, achievements in and outside of Girl Scouts, character based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, community engagement, and a recommendation from a personal reference.
