Major League Baseball™
Major League Baseball (MLB) and Girl Scouts have launched a new partnership, starting with a program for new Girl Scout Daisy troops emphasizing fun and friendship, while encouraging girls to play baseball and softball through MLB’s broader PLAY BALL initiative (PLAYBALL.org).
MLB will provide 2,500 customized Girl Scout Daisy PLAY BALL kits to approximately 13,000 participating Girl Scout Daisies, which will include PLAY BALL bat and ball sets from Franklin Sports, a long-standing partner of Major League Baseball and the PLAY BALL initiative, along with other items. Additional supplies will include custom Daisy activity guides with instructional videos for troop leaders to encourage and teach young girls to play the game while getting to know their new troop through a safe, fun, and accessible activity.
Girl Scouts will also be a part of Major League Baseball’s annual PLAY BALL Weekend, June 14th-16th, which aims to close equity gaps by providing access to the game and encouraging kids, families, and communities to PLAY all summer long. Throughout PLAY BALL Weekend, Major League Baseball will activate world-wide and domestically, including with all 30 Major League and 120 Minor League clubs, in addition to hosting a special event in New York City, which serves as the backdrop for the League’s Headquarters.
