Girl Scouts
-
Girl Scouting provides girls with opportunities to address the important issues in their lives. Girl Scouts do almost anything girls like to do! Girl Scout program activities are open to all girls who are members of Girl Scouting, are based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, and are done with the support of caring, trained adults.
Through their Girl Scout program experiences, girls:
- Gain skills and confidence
- Learn to understand and respect others
- Develop the ability to make positive decisions based on their values
- Contribute to their communities and become leaders
Based on expert research and developed through years of experience, the Girl Scout program provides engaging and worthwhile activities that respond to the needs of today’s girls, with flexibility that respects their busy lives—and yours!
Daisy Troop (K-1st Grade) - Girl Scout Daisies meet in a nurturing, inclusive environment. They go on trips, learn about nature and science, and explore the arts and their communities. Girl Scout Daisies can also earn Learning Petals and receive participation patches.
Brownie Troop (2nd-3rd Grade) - Girl Scout Brownies work together in groups, earn Girl Scout Brownie Try-Its, and explore their community. Friendship, fun, and age-appropriate activities begin at the Girl Scout Brownie meeting and move out to the community and wider world.
Junior Troop (4th-5th Grade) - Girl Scout Juniors earn badges and discover what girl power is all about through new activities and by learning to take charge of their own plans. They gain self-confidence as they explore the world in partnership with their sister Girl Scouts and Troop Leaders.
Cadette Troop (6th-8th Grade) - Girl Scout Cadettes participate in Girl Scouting in many ways. Under the guidance of a Troop Leader, girls select activities and resources to suit their needs while giving back to their communities. They build self-esteem and confidence in their skills as they work on a wide range of projects and gain life experiences.
