Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

Girl Scouts Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!

Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona is proud to celebrate the diversity and rich culture of Hispanics, across America and beyond. During this month we encourage girls of all backgrounds to come together to discover, connect, and celebrate the Hispanic culture.

About National Hispanic Heritage Month

Each year, Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating histories and contributions of those with ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Reagan in 1988.

Hispanic Celebration Kick Off in Southern Arizona

On September 1st Girl Scouts and their families gathered at Kennedy Park for a fiesta! From folklorico dancers, to mariachis, to pinatas and family-fun activities, fun was had by all. We encourage you to try out the fun activities and recipes selected by our staff.
