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?
If your girl is ready to let her best self shine and start
creating the world she wants to see, she’s ready to be a Girl Scout
