Get your Girl Scouts to "doodle for Google"

GSUSA recently announced that Girl Scouts is partnering with Google for their annual Doodle 4 Google contest where kids (and in our case, girls!) in grades kindergarten through 12 are asked to redesign the Google logo according to a selected theme. The national winner will be awarded a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for her Girl Scout council.

This is a great opportunity for your troops to dream BIG, be creative and look toward the future - all values that are central to the Girl Scouts (and Google).

Google is offering a special award for the troop that has the most entries and is able to get to the state finalist round. If one of your Girl Scouts is selected as a state finalist, your council/region would win 20 Netbook computers and a $2,500 technology grant.
