The Girls in Business Camp Philadelphia 2021 introduces girls ages 12 to 16 to basic business principles including the forms and types of businesses, business strategy, marketing and finance. Each student will be guided through creating her own business and completing the activities below.
After students create their businesses, each student CEO will pitch a group of mock investors (fellow students) for the funding to launch her start-up. Participating Girl Scouts can earn a business owner, business plan badge or the new one of the new entrepreneur badges.
The class is limited to 16 students. Students will be required to wear a face cover and seated in a class configuration that allows social distancing. Each Students will be served two pre-packed individual snacks but will need to bring lunch. The class runs from 2pm to 6pmET.

The Girls in Business Initiative was launched by the Girls in Politics Initiative in January 2020 because we believe girls want to make laws and money.Â
