Volunteer reading to girls

Our 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:
