Why be a Girl Scout?

Girl Scouts encourages girls of all ages to discover, connect, and take action in their communities.

Leadership experiences are what make Girl Scouting unique.

Wherever you chose to put your energies, we’ll help you discover new opportunities, connect with new friends, and make a difference in the world around you. Senators, athletes, astronauts, and many more professional woman began received their first steps towards leadership in Girl Scouts:

“As an astronaut, I saw the Earth from space and realized we all share the same water and air. Space travel really impressed upon me the importance of taking care of our planet, something I first learned as a Girl Scout!”
