Launched in July 2020, Understanding the LGBTQ+ Experience is a Girl Scout Gold Award project that aims to educate parents and allies about supporting the LGBTQ+ community, help LGBTQ+ youth feel more comfortable in their identities, and connect folks to community resources. As part of this project, a virtual conference was held in October 2020 with presentations by community organizations dedicated to helping those in the LGBTQ+ community, such as one-n-ten, SAGA, AZTYPO, GLSEN Phoenix, and THEM Youth Ensemble.
