Girl Scouts, League Of Women Voters Team Up To Teach Girls Importance Of Voting
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Girl scouts of all ages learned about the importance of civics and voting last week as part of the Voter Girl Project.
More than 125 girls – ranging in age from 5 to 17 – got together at Camp Grene Wood in Woodridge last week.
They learned about the branches of government, how to debate civilly, and how to cast a ballot. They even took part in a mock election.
The Girl Scouts of America partnered with the League of Women Voters in Naperville to make sure the girls learn the importance of civics at any age.
