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.
