We've Reached Our Goal of 290 in the House. We Still Need Your Support in the Senate!

 

Thanks to all of your calls, emails and outreach to Congress, we've reached our goal of 290 cosponsors to pass the HOUSE version of the Girl Scouts Commemorative Coin Act. We're expecting the bill to reach the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote in the next few weeks and will keep you updated!

 

Now that we have the necessary House cosponsors, our collective attention turns to the SENATE and the 67 cosponsors needed to pass the Senate version of the Commemorative Coin Act. We're almost there and need to continue the momentum you've created.

 

What can you do? Check to see if your Senator is not a cosponsor then go to GirlScouts4girls.org to send a message to your Senator to ask for support of the Coin Bill (S. 451). Please spread the word to Girl Scout supporters to enlist their help in advocating for the coin by linking them to Girlscouts4girls.org.

 

Working together across the Girl Scout Movement, we can have a lasting symbol recognizing and celebrating the history and achievements of Girl Scouts.

In celebration of 100 years of Girl Scouting, we need your help to pass legislation introduced in the 111th Congress that will authorize the U.S. Mint to issue a Girl Scout Commemorative Coin. For this to happen, we need you to contact your Members of Congress to encourage them to pass "The Girl Scouts USA Centennial Commemorative Coin Act."

Please join the Girls Scouts Advocacy Network and make your voice heard! Click on "Take Action" at www.GirlScouts4girls.org, and you will be led through a few short steps that will generate a letter to your Members of Congress, asking that they support the Girl Scout Commemorative Coin bill. For this bill to pass, we will need 290 House cosponsors and 67 Senate cosponsors. We can reach these numbers, but there is some work to be done! Please take action and invite others to do so as well.

 

If you have any specific questions, please email the Public Policy and Advocacy office at advocacy@girlscouts.org, or call directly at (202) 659-3780.
