Las Vegas sign glows green to salute Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada


Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II hosted a ceremony at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign on Thursday to honor the Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada.

The iconic landmark was illuminated in green to recognize the organization’s commitment to youth leadership and entrepreneurship.

“The Girl Scout Cookie Program represents much more than a fundraiser — it’s a powerful platform for developing the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs in our community,” said Commissioner William McCurdy II.

“These young women learn invaluable skills in business, finance, and goal-setting that will serve them throughout their lives. We’re proud to light up this iconic sign in recognition of their tremendous impact across Southern Nevada.”
