What's 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 learning about STEM, the outdoors,
entrepreneurship, and important life skills, Girl Scouts also
discover new ways to make their families and communities 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 decide which hands-on activities and projects they want to do,
try new things, and cheer each other on. Together, they earn badges to
reflect their successes and show the world what they've got.
What's the goal?
Girl Scouts is committed to
making sure girls are given the opportunity to reach their full
potential by developing values and skills that will help them lead
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 today! A membership is $25 per
Girl Scout year, which starts on October 1 and ends on September 30
the following year. However, you can start early by joining or
