In honor of International Women’s Day and the 112th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, United Airlines is inviting MileagePlus® members to contribute miles to support the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) in providing transformative travel experiences for young girls.
Through United’s Miles on a MissionSM program, the airline will match the first one million miles donated to GSUSA, empowering MileagePlus members to make a positive impact with their miles. Travel plays a vital role in the Girl Scouts’ journey, fostering exploration, global connections, and the development of lifelong skills. In 2023 alone, over 59,000 Girl Scouts embarked on domestic and international adventures, often financing their trips through the proceeds of the Girl Scout Cookie Program®.
“We are honored to be the featured partner for United’s Miles on a Mission program this month,” said Wendy Lou, Chief Revenue Officer and Head of Membership, GSUSA. “As we come to a close on our 2024 cookie season and many are figuring out creative ways to use their cookie proceeds, including travel, we hope this program can help them take their travel dreams even farther.”
Since 2022, United Airlines has been a staunch supporter of GSUSA’s mission. This partnership has enabled GSUSA to develop resources for volunteers and council staff, enriching STEM programs and expanding educational opportunities for Girl Scouts.
Research conducted by GSUSA reveals that girls engaged in Girl Scout STEM initiatives exhibit increased confidence in their mathematical and scientific skills, as well as a heightened interest in STEM fields and careers.
“At United, we believe that aviation can help connect people and unite the world,” said Helon Hammond, VP of Global Learning, People and Community Impact for United. “We are proud to support Girl Scouts of the USA to ensure that members have access and are encouraged to explore and continue learning through travel. We hope to inspire young leaders to continue learning through travel and pursuing careers in aviation.”
