For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts has offered girls the skills, experiences and confidence they need to develop to their fullest potential. It was truly a great year to be a Girl Scout in 2014.

The Diamonds Council offered many new programs and was pleased to partner with great organizations to bring new and exciting programs to all girls. Our partnerships with the William J. Clinton Presidential Center, Magic Springs, Museum of Discovery, the Jones Center, Arkansas State University and so many more, brought STEM to life and created memories that will last a lifetime.

The Girl Scout Law tells us to “use resources wisely,” and 2014 was the perfect year to evaluate what we were doing and make changes that would position us well for the future. We needed your support in more ways than ever as we faced new challenges. But we learned that each challenge presented so many opportunities and as a council, we rose to the occasion.

As Girl Scouts, we know that when girls are empowered they can change the world. Thanks to our supporters and volunteers, Girl Scouts - Diamonds is bringing girls the life-changing experiences that build girls of courage, confidence and character they need to make the world a better place. Thank you for investing in girls.
