In 2020, Girl Scouts across Michigan celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment – the
constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote. GSMISTS
honors this milestone with the Michigan 2020 Women’s Right to Vote
Centennial Patch. Girls can earn this patch by learning about the
suffragists who fought for years for the right to vote. As they learn
about the history of the suffrage movement, girls will also learn key
lessons about how our government works, and how individual citizens
can participate in government and make their voices heard.
