When you’re a Girl Scout, you call the shots.
Every Girl Scout has curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky's the limit.
Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good. The secret element holding it all together? Joy.
Forever friendship is a powerful thing. It's what gives Girl Scouts the confidence to unapologetically be themselves. It's what makes them feel safe enough to try new things and cheer each other on. It can help get them up on tough days, raise their hand in class, and even climb to the top of a mountain.
It's easy to make new friends as a Girl Scout.
From joining a troop to spending a week at summer camp, Girl Scouts have the chance to meet others from their neighborhood, community, and nearby schools. They may even meet local leaders during a service project.
A space to be yourself.
Forever friends and a squad that cheers you on. A chance to try amazing new things. That’s what being a Girl Scout is all about. Your Girl Scout community is a place to call your own, test your limits, and have a blast.
No adventure is too big for a Girl Scout.
From exploring new museums to camping at a state park all weekend, there are many exciting ways to discover adventure. Go with a friend or your entire troop and try something new.
Make an impact on your community.
Restock the local food pantry. Beautify your school's playground. Lobby for change at a city council meeting. Making the world a better place is all in a day's work for a Girl Scout. Take it to the next level when you earn the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards—our highest awards—to make a sustainable impact.
Girl Scouts have endless opportunities to lead.
A true leader makes smart decisions, acts fairly and responsibly, and lets others shine as they work together—whether they're running a cookie business or directing a team of volunteers for a Gold Award project.
Learn new skills.
Then, take those badge skills further with a Leadership Award or a Highest Award. Leadership Awards allow Girl Scouts to show they know how to take action and make a difference in their community. A highest award shows they know how to make sustainable change.
Grade Levels
Each Girl Scout level is unique with a wide variety of activities. Girl Scouts can join between kindergarten and twelfth grade. As a Girl Scout progresses, every level builds upon the last and allows her to explore her interests in a meaningful and age-appropriate way.
