Girl Scouts will harness the power of the Movement by engaging in a nationwide, annual, signature Community Action Project, focused on making a significant impact on the environment. Girl Scouts will develop and use their leadership skills to help the environment by working to improve their schools’ air quality, energy use, water use, waste management, and use of green space. Ten councils piloted the community action project in 2008–2009, 36 councils are participating in 2009-2010, and a national rollout planned for 2010–2011 and annually thereafter.

Girl Scout Commemorative Coin

Bills were introduced in Congress in early 2009 to authorize the U.S. Mint to produce a silver Girl Scout coin. The centennial coin act was signed into law on October 29, 2009. The fundraising potential is $3.5 million, and these funds have been designated for restoration and improvements at the Juliette Low Birthplace.

Mobile Exhibit Tour

GSUSA is in the final stages of researching the feasibility of organizing a nationwide exhibit tour.  The vision for Girl Scouts Mobile Exhibit Tour is to provide a living, evolving experience that can adapt itself to myriad venues and create programs that will inspire participation at each venue.  The Mobile Exhibit Tour will feature temporary exhibits that reflect the ideas and collections of Girl Scouts today.  While an historical timeline will be part of this dynamic experience, activities and programs will be the heart of the tour.  The timing of the tour will most likely be 2011–2012.

A 100^th anniversary cookie will be offered during the 2011–2012 selling season.

No details are available yet, but GSUSA plans to host at least two girls from every council in the U.S., and at least two girls from every WAGGGS member country.

GSUSA plans to create a line of special-edition 100^th anniversary merchandise for sale in council shops, the GSUSA catalog, and in museum shops, in connection with the nationwide exhibit tour. The merchandise will be available for sale in 2011.
