  Peace First Challenge

  Award:

  The Peace First Challenge is a global call-to-action to all young people to join a community of peacemakers dedicated to finding compassionate solutions to the world’s problems. When you accept the Peace First Challenge, you are invited to develop your own peacemaking project addressing an injustice you care about, and Peace First will support you by providing you with tools and skills, investing in your ideas and sharing your stories and impact with the world.

  Requirements:

  Citizens or legal residents of the United States who are between the ages of 13 and 25 years-old are eligible to join the US Challenge. Additionally, to be eligible to receive a mini-grant, users will have to form a team. Teams will need to register, choose an injustice, submit a suggested solution they want to implement and a plan on how they want to do it. When your team submits the plan, you will indicate how much money you would like to request and what you can provide in terms of in-kind resources.

  The Spirit Scholarship

  Award:

  The Spirit Scholarship was established by lifetime Girl Scout and highest award recipient, Connie Ehrlich Davis, in memory of her parents, Maxine and O. J. Ehrlich. During her youth in Wichita, KS, Connie’s parents were tireless supporters of her participation in Girl Scouts, recognizing the experience would help her develop confidence and leadership skills. Since the Ehrlich’s did not have the opportunity to attend school past 8th grade, they also believed in the importance of further education. They were committed to ensuring Connie had every opportunity to benefit from scouting and an education, both of which served her well throughout her career. It is in the “spirit” of their wisdom that this scholarship will be awarded to girls who demonstrate academic excellence and uphold the highest ideals of Girl Scouting.

  The Spirit Scholarship Renewal Process: As long as funds are available, past recipients of The Spirit Scholarship may renew their scholarship for three additional years. The Recipient must submit verification of their enrollment status at an accredited college or university, current grade-point average (minimum 3.1 on a 4.0 scale) annually to the council by July 1.

  Requirements:

  • Be a registered member with Girl Scouts of NE Kansas & NW Missouri at the time of application and have been a registered Girl Scout for at least two years prior to the year you are applying.
  • Be graduating from high school in the year applying.
