The Alabama Girl Report

Welcome to the Alabama Girl Report presented by Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama and Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama. This report details harsh realities for many girls in our state. In Alabama, 22% of girls live below the poverty level, 80% are not getting enough sleep or physical activity, and one in three has seriously considered attempting suicide.

Girls deserve better. Join us in building a future where all girls have the opportunity to be their best selves.

Despite these bleak statistics, we believe in the power of girls in Alabama to change the world, and the power of Girl Scouts to help them do this. With programming across the state, GSSA and GSNCA offer every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success. As you will see in this report, girls involved in Girl Scouting enjoy a brighter future.

Girl Scouts know the importance of leadership, community service, and patriotism. They live the Girl Scout Law and Promise, which reminds them to be courageous and strong. Our members make the Girl Scout mission of making the world a better place come alive. Rooted in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, we offer exciting STEM, outdoor, entrepreneurship, and life-skills programming opportunities to thousands of girls across Alabama. We help all girls take the lead early and often, and we’re backed by more than 100 years of experience and expertise in the field.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the State of Girls in Alabama. Now is the time to join us in creating effective change on their behalf through the infinite power of Girl Scouting.

When girls succeed, so does society.
