Troop 6000: Girl Scouts Bringing Hope to NYC Shelters

In this uplifting episode, we spotlight Girl Scouts Troop 6000, an inspiring program launched in 2017 to support girls living in New York City shelters. Founded by Giselle Burgess and backed by the Girl Scouts of Greater New York, Troop 6000 brings weekly meetings, field trips, leadership development, and badge earning opportunities to girls experiencing housing instability.

Troop 6000 has become a model for community-centered youth empowerment, offering consistency, belonging, and growth for girls who often face uncertain circumstances. We reflect on the troop’s lasting impact, the power of small acts of kindness, and why equitable access to enrichment opportunities matters for every child.

🎙️ Stay tuned for teasers of upcoming episodes exploring everything from conspiracy theories to meaningful human stories that inspire and connect us.
