For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts has been building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. On October 18, Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana will celebrate the 6th Annual Tough Cookie Awards in Louisville. This event highlights the impact of Girl Scouting on today’s young women and further celebrates over a century’s worth of successful leadership development through the Girl Scout movement. Awards will be presented to four individuals who demonstrate the importance of investing in girls.

The Man Enough to be a Girl Scout competition is a fun way to raise funds for GSK and showcase the support of so many men in our communities. It is a call to action which spotlights the importance male business leaders and volunteers have in playing pivotal roles in the investment of GSK, and an effort to involve more fathers and business leaders in girls’ lives, especially Girl Scouts. It’s not just women and parents who care about the future success of young girls. Through Man Enough, we’re increasing public awareness and community support. We are preparing girls for their futures.  You can support this campaign by donating to one of the men vying to win the title of Man Enough to be a Girl Scout!
