This weekend, we participated in the Blend It Like a Boss Mini Masterclass at PureBerry Açaí Bowls in Naperville, and was an awesome experience!

The girls:

⭐ Received a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility
⭐ Learned about the costs of opening and operating a storefront business
⭐ Learned about branding and what makes a business stand out
⭐ Created names for their own açaí bowl businesses
⭐ Designed their own logos
⭐ Built their own delicious açaí bowls and gave them unique names
⭐ Pitched their businesses and bowls to a panel of three judges
⭐ Received awards based on the judges' feedback
⭐ Earned certificates for their participation
⭐ Enjoyed eating their creations!

This was such a fun, hands-on way for the girls to learn about entrepreneurship, creativity, and public speaking. Thank you to owners Dorothy and Neepa for creating such a great experience!

And by the way...the açaí bowls were absolutely delicious! 😋 If you're in the Naperville area, be sure to stop by and support this locally owned small business.

✨ 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 ✨

Today was the Bridging Ceremony for the DuPage AME Girl Scout Program. There were so many beautiful moments. Four troops of different levels bridged, including Troop 56689.

We are no longer Brownies. We are officially Juniors!

Each girl shared what she loved most about being a Brownie:

✅ Making new friends
✅ Dozin’ with Dinos
✅ Skiing
✅ Earning badges
✅ Having own cookie business
✅ Eating cookies 🤭

Hearing their reflections was a reminder of how much they have grown over the past two years, not just in skills, but in confidence and friendships.

Now they are looking ahead. The next two years as Juniors are already starting to take shape. We are planning a camping trip and beginning to think about working toward the Bronze Award.

✨ 𝗗𝗼𝘇𝗶𝗻’ 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀! ✨

Last weekend, Troop 56689 had an amazing experience at the Field Museum during Dozin’ with Dinos, an overnight adventure they will not forget.

During this after-hours event, the girls got to:
✅ Explore all of the exhibits
✅ Meet scientists and observe experiments
✅ Dissect owl pellets
✅ Taste bugs 🤢
✅ See unique specimens
✅ Listen to a bedtime story in the theater
✅ Sleep in the exhibit area

It was so much fun and such a great learning experience for everyone.

This opportunity was possible because of everyone who supported our troop by purchasing cookies. Thank you so much for helping make experiences like this happen!

Troop 56689 was proud to participate in the 2026 DuPage AME Girl Scouts Black History Month Program, themed Young Black Female History Makers.

Our troop selected Gabrielle Goodwin, the young innovator and entrepreneur behind GaBBY Bows, to inspire our presentation.

Over the past several weeks, the girls learned about Gabrielle’s journey as a young business owner who created products to solve a problem and build confidence in other girls. They discussed innovation, leadership, and what it means to see a need and take action.

Inspired by Gabrielle, each Brownie designed and created her own handmade hair accessory. The girls proudly wore their creations during the program and shared individual presentations about:

• Loving their hair
• Being inspired by Gabrielle’s creativity and courage
• Embracing confidence and self-love

These girls did sn awesome job. The stood proudly, spoke clearly, and owned the stage. Their preparation, teamwork, and bravery were on full display.

The 2026 program featured five participating troops highlighting young Black women in dance, poetry, literary activism, sports, and entrepreneurship. Brownie Troop 56689 was honored to represent Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

We are incredibly proud of our girls for their hard work, creativity, and confidence. They truly embodied the spirit of young history makers.

Troop 56689 showed up and showed out! 🖤❤️💚

✨𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝗿. 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁✨

Today, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts from the DuPage AME scouting programs proudly participated in the Annual Martin Luther King Unity Breakfast at Drury Lane.

More than 1,400 people were in attendance, making the morning both powerful and memorable.

The keynote speaker was Dorothy Counts-Scoggins, a civil rights pioneer. In 1957 at the age of 15, she became the first Black student admitted to Harry P. Harding High School, a moment in history that required extraordinary courage and strength.

For our scouts, not only was this the opportunity to participate in a powerful event, it was also an opportunity to:

✅ learn important history through lived experience
✅ understand the importance of standing up for what is right, even when it is difficult
✅ see real examples of courage, strength, and resilience

Experiences like this help connect the values of scouting with real stories that continue to shape our world today.
