Frequently Asked Questions toggle arrow

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! Current memberships run through September 30, 2026. Anyone new to Girl Scouts can join now for $45 for girls and $30 for adults. The membership year starts on October 1 and ends on September 30 the following year. However, you can start early by joining or renewing your membership in April every year.
