What is Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts is more than an
activity—it’s a Movement dedicated to building girls of courage,
confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
Why do girls love being Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts
is a way of life that brings out the best in your girl, even in the
most challenging of times. While they’re learning about STEM, the
outdoors, entrepreneurship, and important life skills, Girl Scouts
are also discovering new ways to make their family and community
stronger, kinder, and better for everyone.
How does it work? What’s a “troop”?
Groups of
Girl Scouts, called troops, typically meet weekly or every other
week for an hour or two. Guided by adult volunteers, troop members
choose the hands-on activities and projects that excite them, try
new things, and cheer each other on. Together, they earn badges to
reflect their successes and show the world what they’re made of.
What’s the goal?
Making sure girls are given the
opportunity to reach their full potential by developing values and
skills that will lead them to happier lives.
When can I get started?
