Girl Stories
The Power of the Girl Scout Experience
With nonstop adventure at every turn, Girl Scouts always have great, inspiring stories to tell.
Whether they’re taking on awesome change-the-world service projects, going on life-altering trips to incredible places, or having BIG outdoor fun and forging “forever friendships,” the excitement of learning something new and building a lifetime of memories is remarkable—and the stories of girls, volunteers, parents, and alumnae are a true testament to the power of the Girl Scout experience.

Girl Scouts in Maine Give Back
For more than 100 years Girl Scouts have taken the lead helping their communities and making the world a better place.
