Every year, Girl Scout Troops in the local Knox Service unit complete a poster design campaign to support International Day of the Girl. Girl Scouts of all ages created posters based on their thoughts on the challenges and issues facing girls locally and globally and their ideas on how to make the world a better place.

International Day of the Girl is celebrated globally each year on October 11. It is a day to raise awareness and promote discussion on the rights, inclusion, and opportunities for girls. It is a day to support girls’ voices and actions.

Posters are on display at the Thomaston Library and Saint George Town Office during October.

Girl Scouts of Maine builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. GSME provides services and support to over 12,000 girl and adult members statewide, and operates service centers and shops in South Portland and Bangor.
