The Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa are collaborating with Iowa Commission on the Status of Women to host this event on February 5th from 7:30am-3:30pm. This event is for girls in grades 9th-12th. During the event girls will take an in-depth look at our state government by shadowing one of our legislators. Girls will be front and center as our state lawmakers have lively debates on the House and Senate floors. During the General Assembly, all girls will be introduced and then paired with a female legislator for an inside look at being a woman in politics. The Capitol Girls event is a great experience that will help girls develop personal leadership skills while experiencing our government in action.
The cost to attend is $15 for Girl Scouts and $30 for non-Girl Scouts. The cost includes: lunch, fun patch, and a year of Girl Scout membership for those that are not currently registered with the organization.
