Exploring Careers in Animation: Behind the Scenes with the Women of Coraline

Thank you for your interest in Careers in Animation: Behind the Scenes with the Women of Coraline! This event has passed. We hope you'll explore the badge connections and upcoming Girl Scout events below!

Join Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington for a special virtual event as we host two talented women who helped bring Coraline to life on screen and learn more about their careers in animation. We're excited to announce that GSOSW Gold Award Girl Scout Mackenzie Devereux will host this conversation.

This event is open to all registered Girl Scouts from any GSUSA council and Girl Scouts Overseas. Please note that while this special event is open to Girl Scouts of all ages, Coraline is rated PG-13. We hope you can join us for this event, as a recording will not be available afterward.
