The organization continued to evolve its badge programs to reflect contemporary interests and challenges facing girls, ensuring relevance and impact in a rapidly changing society.
Overall, 2001 marked another year of growth and empowerment for the Girl Scouts, as they continued their mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
