Since joining Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada in 2015, Linda Bridges has worked to increase its brand recognition across Southern Nevada—even turning the iconic “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign Girl Scout green for the first time.
Bridges formed the G.I.R.L. Media Team, a corps of media-trained Girl Scouts who participate in interviews, photo shoots and local advertising campaigns. As a tireless advocate for the equality of girls and young women, she also launched the Troop State Capitol, a bipartisan delegation of women members of the Nevada legislature, to policy ideas in the areas of gender equity, workforce readiness, STEM education and financial literacy.
An outdoor enthusiast and active woman herself, Bridges recently championed a partnership between Girl Scouts and the Las Vegas Aces to address the issue of girls leaving Girl Scouts to play sports. When launched, this will be the first of its kind for both the WNBA and the 111 Girl Scout councils.
