Since 1998, Kappa Delta and Girl Scouts of the USA have partnered to make a difference in the lives of countless girls across the country. Kappa Deltas serve as mentors and volunteers, host confidence-building programs, educational events, campus tours and other activities with Girl Scouts in their communities.
The Kappa Delta Foundation also supports the bright futures and dreams of Girl Scouts across the country by providing scholarships annually in recognition of Gold Award Girl Scouts.
This investment helps support up to 112 world-changing Gold Award Girl Scouts each year across our Movement, who collectively contribute hundreds of thousands of hours toward creating long-term solutions to issues they’re passionate about—from combating food insecurity and destigmatizing conversations about mental health to preserving arts, culture, heritage, and more.
This support helps these incredible young leaders launch their futures, achieve their goals, and continue to make the world a better place. Honorees are selected through a rigorous national review process that evaluates their efforts to improve their communities and drive lasting change in the world.
In addition, the Kappa Delta Foundation’s investment supports the continued transformation of our Movement’s Gold Award programs, strengthening program delivery, expanding access for Girl Scouts globally, and enhancing the tools, training, and support that help Girl Scouts successfully earn the Gold Award.
The Kappa Delta Foundation is the charitable arm of the Kappa Delta Sorority. Kappa Delta members serve as mentors and volunteers, guiding and mentoring more than 14,000 Girl Scouts across the country on their leadership journeys each year, and reinforcing the importance of integrity and friendship. In addition to providing GSUSA with critical volunteer support, Kappa Delta chapters host confidence-building and anti-bullying events, International Girls Day celebrations, and other empowering activities for girls in their communities. Girl Scouts who take part in Kappa Delta-sponsored events are eligible to earn a special Kappa Delta participation patch.
