Organization Description
| Mission statement | Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Grounded in the Girl Scout Promise and Law, Girl Scouting is an experiential and cooperative education program that promotes girls’ personal growth and leadership development. Partnering with caring adults, girls design fun and challenging activities that empower them and raise their voices within a local, national and global sisterhood. |
| Service(s) description | The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities that help Girl Scouts prepare for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure. Our program is one-of-a-kind—it’s based on researched-backed programming with proven results. Everything a Girl Scout does centers around four pillars: entrepreneurship, life skills, STEM, and outdoors. The program grows as Girl Scouts age, ensuring they are building upon their knowledge and advancing in their pursued interests. |
