About the Girl Scout Program
Fun, friendship and new adventures are what Girl Scouts is all about. Girls make new friends, challenge themselves, write their own stories, and take action to change the world for the better.
How? Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience:
Girl-led: Girl Scouts follow their own lead, no matter their age.
Learning by Doing: Hands-on activities help them feel empowered to shape their own experience.
Cooperative Learning: With a tight-knit group of friends, Girl Scouts learn and grow together while cheering on each other.
Activities in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience focus on four key areas:
- Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)
- Outdoors
- Life Skills
- Entrepreneurship
With the help of supportive adults and troop leaders who bring those processes to life, Girl Scouts:
Discover. Find out who she is, what she cares about,
and what her talents are.
Connect. Collaborate with other people, both locally and
globally, to learn from
others and expand her horizons.
Take Action.
Do something to make
the world a better place.
the world a better place.

S'mores Day Challenge
S'mores Day is celebrated each year on August 10. Did you know this camp classic was basically invented by Girl Scouts? In 1927, the first s'mores recipe was printed in the Girl Scout handbook, “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” Legend says the name “s'mores” came about because everyone who tasted the gooey campfire concoction asked for “some more.” More info to come on our 2026 festivities!
