Girl Scouts of the USA received its largest ever donation from a single individual, a gift of $84.5 million from MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon\n \n founder Jeff Bezos, the group said in a release. The donation will be awarded to 29 local councils selected by Scott, along with the national chapter. Scott, one of the wealthiest women in the world, divorced Bezos in 2019. Last year, Scott announced donations of $2.7 billion to nearly 300 organizations, following donations of $1.

8 billion to more than 1,200 organizations, according to Forbes. The grants to the Girl Scouts will be used, in part, to “create more equitable membership opportunities in communities that have been under engaged” and “foster meaningful program innovation informed by the current interests and needs of girls to prepare them for leadership, including an expanded focus on career readiness and mental wellness,” the release said.

That’s a lot of Thin Mints!

Thank you, Jeff Bezos!

And that leaves each troop with how much money?

Good for them. I feel the youngins do not get involved in these types of organizations anymore. I know my kids didn't, and neither did their friends. Hopefully they can promote themselves with this kind of donated money.
