Organizations that provide activities or events tailored to Girl Scout programs. These programs incorporate the Girl Scout National Program Portfolio which consists of The Girls’ Guide to Girl Scouting and the Girl Scout Leadership Journeys. Programs can be created to give girls the opportunity to complete part, or all, of a specific Journey or badge.
Community Partners
Community partners are businesses and organizations in the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of VA's (GSCV) central Virginia area who have been approved by GSCV staff to offer Program events and activities to Girl Scout troops.
These businesses and organizations offer programmatic opportunities that align to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Each partnership’s offerings fit under at least one of our four program pillars: Life Skills, Outdoor, STEM, and Entrepreneurship.
Event Partners
Resource Partners
Organizations that provide activities or events such as shows, tours or games, with a discounted fee for Girl Scouts (and sometimes also for family members). These opportunities do not need to be tailored to the Girl Scout program but may include badge activities.
Service Partner
These partners are non-profit organizations that align with the Girl Scout mission and values and provide girls with the opportunity to serve their community.
Community Partners by Program Pillar
Do you know the four pillars of Girl Scouting? Lots of people would answer that question with “I thought there were 3: cookies, camp, and crafts,” but Girl Scouts is so much more than that!
Girl Scouts of the USA has four Program Pillars that form the foundation of our program and our organization. And don’t worry, alums, they’ve been a part of Girl Scouts since the beginning!
Life Skills
STEM
Outdoor
Entrepreneurship
Consider this topic like a giant umbrella that covers a whole host of practical skills, tools, and activities that help girls grow into problem solvers and take the lead in their own lives and in their communities. It’s under this pillar that you’ll find important badge topics that help foster positive values in girls like civic engagement, community service, healthy relationships, and financial literacy, to name just a few of the broad topics addressed here.
Girls are amazing innovators. Seriously, they’ve been exploring, inventing, and revolutionizing things (like the English language) for generations. And when you combine their innovative skills with a desire to help others, you get the potential for some awesome scientific breakthroughs and inventions. And we want to be a part of that!
Girl Scouts has been building girls’ confidence and skills in the great outdoors for over 100 years. Outside is where many of our favorite activities happen. Activities like camping, outdoor cooking, orienteering, and exploring the wilds (and the backyard) are part of our identity as an organization. We continue to encourage girls through outdoor- and nature-focused badges and Journeys to go on adventures, challenge their skills, learn new things, and develop an enduring love for our natural world!
Where do girls learn to communicate with customers, devise a marketing strategy, and promote a product? For many girls their first experience running a business is the Girl Scout Cookie Program. As she goes door to door, sets up booths, and follows up with Great Aunt Judy for orders, she’s learning essential skills that will help her have the confidence and the know how to start her own business some day.
