About Our Council
The Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM) is the provider of premier leadership experiences for girls. Our dedicated staff and program offerings make GSSEM the organization of choice for girls and their families, and for caring adults, who are committed to the Girl Scout Mission.
On January 1, 2009, as part of the national Girl Scout realignment movement, four Girl Scout councils in southeastern Michigan merged to create one high-capacity, high-performance council. Michigan Waterways, Metro Detroit, Macomb County-Otsikita, Fair Winds, and portions of Huron Valley merged to become Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM).
We serve over 22,000 girls and 8,000 volunteers in Oakland, Macomb, Genesee, Lapeer, St. Clair, Sanilac and parts of Wayne, Monroe and Livingston Counties.
Our organization provides a girl-centered, fun-filled, quality leadership experience in partnership with mentoring adults that meets the needs of girls in a fast-changing world and ensures a lifelong connection with Girl Scouting. Partnered with community and infused with the principles of inclusion and diversity, GSSEM is vital and strong, and is the premier leadership organization for girls.
When a girl joins our membership she will:
Connect with others in a multicultural environment
Take Action to make a difference in the world
