Mayor Clea McCaw declares March 2025 Girl Scout Week in Sierra Vista

Girl Scouts took the spotlight at the Sierra Vista City Council meeting on March 27, 2025, as Mayor Clea McCaw proclaimed the week of March 2025 as Girl Scout Week. This recognition highlights the significant impact of the Girl Scouts of the USA, the largest leadership organization for girls globally, which has seen its membership soar to over 2 million.

During the meeting, local Girl Scout troops led the Pledge of Allegiance, setting a tone of community pride and engagement. Mayor McCaw emphasized the vital role that Girl Scouts play in helping girls develop leadership skills, build relationships, and make sound decisions. The proclamation also commemorates the 113th anniversary of Girl Scouts in the USA and the 108th anniversary of the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program, which began in 1917.

This celebration not only honors the legacy of founder Juliette Gordon Low, who established the first Girl Scout troop in 1912, but also reinforces the ongoing commitment to empowering young girls in Sierra Vista. The mayor's proclamation serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering leadership and community involvement among the youth.
