Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida announced it has received a $5,000 grant from the Harold C. and Jacqueline F. Bladel Foundation, Inc. The grant will support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for girls living in Sarasota County. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a nationally recognized, professionally developed program portfolio including books, awards, activities and resource materials geared toward the developmental and progressive needs of girls. Girls try new things and develop specific skills, from camping and first aid to financial literacy and STEM, while earning program awards and badges. The program inspires girls in grades K-12 to achieve personal and academic success now while preparing for the careers or life journeys they choose in the future. Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida serves approximately 1,200 girls annually in Sarasota County with the support of more than 600 adult volunteers.
