GSCV Community Partners
Community Partners
Girl Scouts thrive when they have opportunities to learn, explore, and lead beyond the troop meeting. GSCV Community Partners are local businesses and organizations that help make those opportunities possible by providing meaningful experiences, resources, and expertise that support girls as they discover who they are and what they can do.
Our Community Partners offer Girl Scout–aligned programs, activities, and experiences designed to complement the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Each opportunity connects to at least one of GSCV’s four program pillars: Life Skills, Outdoor, STEM, or Entrepreneurship.
Through these partnerships, girls can try something new, build real-world skills, connect with their community, and turn curiosity into action.
