About the Exhibit:

Girl Power!

February 22, 2013 - July 14, 2013

In partnership with Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, "Girl Power!" is an exhibit that heralds the next century of Girl Scouting.

Through personal stories, artifacts and memorabilia, the exhibit will highlight the values and traditions of Girl Scouts that are as relevant today as when the movement was founded in 1912.
