Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital

Shooting Beauty and the Girl Scouts share the commitment to empowering others to discover their individual and collective potential, ultimately equipping them to become strong leaders of change. The Shooting Beauty and Girl Scouts partnership developed as a result of Shooting Beauty’s successful presentations at several Girl Scout conferences. Each interactive workshop session proved the film’s power to challenge and positively alter girls’ self-image and the judgments they place on others. As a result, the Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital and the Shooting Beauty Team have come together to bring Girl Scouts throughout the United States the Shooting Beauty Girl Scouts Patch Program.
