State of the Girl

State of the Girl Report

Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay is proud to present the latest State of the Girl report, offering an in-depth look at the experiences, challenges, and opportunities facing girls across Delaware and the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia.

Drawing from data across our council footprint, this report explores the issues impacting girls from kindergarten through 12th grade and highlights how the Girl Scout Leadership Experience is uniquely designed to meet their evolving needs. Through research-driven insights, the report demonstrates how Girl Scouts, with the support of the Delmarva community, empowers girls with the skills, confidence, and support they need to thrive today and lead tomorrow.

A Special Thanks

The Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay hosted its State of the Girl event at DuPont Country Club. The event featured keynote speaker Jenn Hollern, who presented research and findings from the State of the Girl report. Girl Board Advisors Alexis Abrams and Salima Zogheib also shared their experiences as Girl Scouts.

The State of the Girl report examines the experiences and challenges facing girls across Delmarva. It provides information about the issues influencing girls’ lives and futures and identifies opportunities for families, communities, organizations, and leaders to support girls and help address these challenges.

The event was supported by sponsors M&T Charitable Foundation, Great Wolf Lodge, ChristianaCare, Kiddie Academy, Hope Wellness Center, and Bernie’s Espresso. Table sponsors included Del-One Credit Union, University of Delaware, and M&T Charitable Foundation. Board members Temeka Easter Rice and Kalila Hines reserved tables for the event.

The GSCB Archives Committee helped preserve and share the history of Girl Scouting in the community, and the GSCB Archives team contributed to the event. DuPont Country Club served as the event venue.
