Chatting with Changemakers: A Girl Scout Podcast
Meet the Voices Shaping Tomorrow—
Proof that every gift makes a difference. Introducing Chatting with Changemakers: A Girl Scout Podcast!
Meet Mackenzie S., a trailblazing Girl Scout who had the opportunity with Girl Scouts to travel to New York City to represent Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida at the United Nations’ 67th Commission on the Status of Women – where she stood among global changemakers, voicing the needs of girls, who are too often left unheard.
She is joined by special guest Mary Anne Servian, CEO and Chief Girl Champion for an eye‑opening conversation exploring the State of the Florida Girl report, which explores girls’ physical health, academics, emotional wellness, and social well‑being.
They also share how the #GivingChallenge2026 will help support girls so they can continue to thrive, and how you can #BeTheOne to make a difference in girls’ lives.
