Women's Suffrage Tea Party, Oct.24
A Celebration of the Centennial of the 19th Amendment
We are inviting all girls to learn about the fight for Women's Suffrage movement. You can participate in two ways: Video submission or attending the Tea Party.
Start with a Suffrage Centennial Meeting with your troop.
Make a Suffrage Video
Many Girl Scout have completed the Girl Scout Suffrage Centennial Patch Program. This is your time to shine. Showcase what you've learned in a short video. We will compile video submissions and show them at the Women's Suffrage Tea Party.
Daisy, Brownie Junior: Create a 1 minute video about why it is important to vote. You can create a song, write a poem, make a poster or drawing and show it in the video.
