Girl Scouts isn’t just a moment in her life, it’s a Movement dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

Why Do Families Love Us? 
Girl Scouts is a way of life that brings out the best in your girl, and helps her bring out the best in everyone around her. While she’s learning about STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and important life skills, she’s also discovering new ways to make your family and community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone.

How Does it Work? 
Groups of Girl Scouts from the same community, called troops, typically meet weekly or bi-weekly for an hour or two. Hand-in-hand with adult volunteers—often parents or caregivers—girls select exciting hands-on activities and projects, try new things, and cheer each other on. Together, they earn badges to reflect their successes and show the world what they’re made of.

What’s the Goal?
Making sure girls see and have the opportunity to reach their potential isn’t just about helping them earn better grades, make better decisions, and have happier lives (although it helps with those things, too!). It’s about creating a more fair, equal, and compassionate world where every girl has a seat at the table and can make her dreams come true. Check out our values in the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
