Girls who demonstrate courage, character, and confidence make the world a better place and are the heart of Girl Scouting. The Real Girls, Real Women Contest celebrates all Girl Scouts (youth and adults) across the country who build courage, confidence, and character every day by putting the values of Girl Scouting into practice. How many do you know? How many can you find? Help us celebrate their accomplishments! The contest is open only to girls and adults in Girl Scouts.

Look around you.
Do you see a registered Girl Scout or adult member, volunteer, or employee of Girl Scouts…

…standing up for a friend?
…taking on a leadership role?
…sharing compliments for a successful project?
…wearing a smile on tough days?
…sharing new ideas to make Girl Scouting more fun?
…proudly telling others about her Girl Scout membership?

Find and meet new Girl Scouts!
Is it your Neighbor? Teacher? City council representative? Local newspaper reporter? Coach? Church minister or rabbi? Piano teacher? Doctor? Friend’s mother or sister? Maybe it’s another volunteer or a Girl Scouts employee…the list goes on! You can nominate as many people as you want.

What’s in it for you?

When you enter people in the contest, you join in the celebration...and you feel great recognizing others who deserve it. You might also find their pictures and your words on the Real Girls, Real Women Web site.
