LAS VEGAS (March 2026) - The National Atomic Testing Museum will host local Girl Scouts for its annual Girl Scouting Outing event on Saturday, March 21 from 9 to 11 a.m. Scouts and their chaperones will see artifacts related to women in atomic history, as well as receiving an activity packet highlighting contributions to atomic science by extraordinary women scientists, including Austrian-Swedish nuclear physicist Lise Meitner and Polish-French scientist Marie Skłodowska-Curie. In addition to exhibits focusing on women's history, registered Girl Scouts and their chaperones will enjoy complimentary admission to the entire museum, including access exhibits such as "World of Fallout" and the interactive "Atomic Odyssey." The event offers a distinctive opportunity for participants to explore the fascinating history and science behind atomic energy through hands-on experiences and engaging displays. "We're grateful to be able to introduce the Girl Scouts to the history of the Atomic Age and the intriguing subject of atomic science," said Gerardo Lopez Hernandez, Atomic Museum Assistant Manager of Education, Atomic Museum. "It's especially inspiring to be able to introduce them to real women from atomic history whose life and work contributed to the 20th century's most important scientific discoveries."

This event not only highlights women's contributions to science but inspires girls to envision their own path in STEM."

NMAAM launches girl scout patch program. On Sunday, March 8th, 2026, the National Museum of African American Music honored International Women's Day by inviting the Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee to come explore its galleries and celebrate the launch of the official NMAAM Girl Scouts patch. This event was the first in a growing partnership between NMAAM and the Girl Scouts, which will continue to birth impactful events to encourage the education of tomorrow's leaders. This Sunday afternoon, various local troops packed out the museum to be the first to earn the new patch. Scouts snacked on Thin Mints(R), Samoas(R), and Exploremores(TM) before taking on their patch-earning challenge. Each girl was given a musical passport booklet filled with music trivia questions, whose answers were awaiting the explorers within the galleries. The scavenger hunts, curated by the museum's Education Department, encouraged the girls to connect with the artists, innovations, and cultural stories that shaped American music. The event was set to a soundtrack of girl power anthems curated by a female DJ, Vibez By V. Knowing the interactive nature of NMAAM's exhibits, GSMIDTN CEO & President, Danielle Barnes, challenged attendees to send her any playlists they really liked from the Rivers of Rhythm: "Y'all know I love a good playlist." Assistant Director of Partnerships, Alyssa DiTuro, shared, "This partnership reflects our shared commitment to empowering young people through creativity, cultural understanding, and community engagement. I'm so proud of what we've built together and excited to welcome even more troops in the months ahead!" Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee can continue earning their patch at the museum any time National Museum of African American Music is open to the public by completing the same scavenger hunt and purchasing the patch through its Amplify store. For more information on this partnership, or to schedule your scout's visit, contact Ms. DiTuro at [email protected].

Girl Scout Cookie booths open soon across Wyoming. Billings, Mont. - Girl Scout Cookie season is one of the most anticipated times of the year for communities across Montana and Wyoming. During this annual tradition, Girl Scouts participate in the world's largest entrepreneurial program for girls, building confidence and essential life skills while funding troop activities and adventures. "Cookie booths are one of the most exciting parts of the season because girls get to meet their communities face-to-face," said Briana Rickman, Director of Public Relations and Development with Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming. "Every box purchased helps girls build confidence, practice leadership skills, and work toward goals like camping trips, travel opportunities, and service projects." If you didn't get a chance to pre-order your favorite cookies, there's still time to support local Girl Scouts. Cookie Booth sales begin on Friday, March 20, giving customers the opportunity to purchase cookies directly from Girl Scouts throughout their communities. By supporting the Girl Scout Cookie Program, customers help girls develop valuable skills such as goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Girl Scout troops will host cookie booths at locations ranging from neighborhood grocery stores to large retail outlets from March 20 through April 12. To find a booth near you, visit www.gsmw.org/findcookies and enter your ZIP code to view booth locations, dates, and times. This year, Girl Scouts will offer up to nine cookie varieties at Cookie Booths, including Thin Mints(R), Caramel deLites(R), Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Trefoils, Adventurefuls, Lemonades, the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip, and the new Exploremores(TM) cookie. New for the 2026 season, Exploremores(TM) are a rocky road ice cream-inspired sandwich cookie featuring chocolate cookie wafers filled with marshmallow and toasted almond-flavored crème. The new cookie celebrates the spirit of exploration at the heart of Girl Scouting and will be available at cookie booths and through online sales. Most cookie varieties sell for $6 per package, while Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies are $7 per package. The Caramel Chocolate Chip variety may not be available at all booths. Customers can also support the Cookie Share program by purchasing cookies to be donated to hometown heroes, food banks, and community organizations across Montana and Wyoming. If a Cookie Booth isn't available in your community, you can still support local Girl Scouts by purchasing cookies online. All net revenue from the Girl Scout Cookie Program - every dollar after the baker is paid - stays local, benefiting Girl Scouts in Montana and Wyoming. Troops use their earnings to fund experiences such as travel, outdoor adventures, community service projects, and leadership programs. News Director
