Girl Scouts is a way of life bringing out the best in your girl and helps her bring out the best in everyone around her. While shes learning about STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and essential life skills, shes also discovering new ways to make your family and community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Groups of Girl Scouts from the same community, called troops, typically meet weekly or bi-weekly for an hour or two. Hand-in-hand with adult volunteersoften parents or caregiversgirls select exciting hands-on activities and projects, try new things, and cheer each other on. Together, they earn badges to reflect their successes and show the world what theyre made of.

WHATS THE GOAL?
Making sure girls see and have the opportunity to reach their potential isnt just about helping them earn better grades, make better decisions, and have happier lives (although it helps with those things, too!). Its about creating a more fair, equal, and compassionate world where every girl has a seat at the table and can make her dreams come true. Check out our values in the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
