Erin is a 15-year-old who’s been a Girl Scout for much of her life. But until last spring, Erin – who has a physical disability – had never been able to take a hike with her fellow Scouts. As a result of training provided through the MEAF-funded Include All Girls Initiative, Scout leaders made a simple adjustment to her wheelchair, and Erin was off on her first overnight hiking trip. Erin said it was the most fun she’d ever had as a Girl Scout, and her friends agreed.

Proposed projects should be national in scope and impact or model projects that can be replicated at multiple sites.
