The Girl Scout Difference

Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development experience for girls in the world.

Girl Scouts’ mission is to build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Since 1912, girls have explored new fields of knowledge, learned valuable skills and developed strong core values through Girl Scouts. Today, Girl Scouts is, as it always has been, the organization best positioned to help girls develop important leadership skills they need to become successful adults. At Girl Scouts, guided by supportive adults and peers, girls develop their leadership potential through age-appropriate activities that enable them to discover their values; connect with others in a multicultural environment; and take action to make their world a better place. All Girl Scout activities are designed to be girl-led, cooperative and hands-on— a process that creates high-quality experiences conducive to learning.

Growing in Girl Scouts: A Lifelong Leadership Journey

As a Girl Scout, there are lots of ways for girls to have fun, make friends and do things that have a positive impact on their lives, now and in the future. At every level, Girl Scouts have fun while making the world a better place. Girl Scouts earn badges, join troops, hike and camp and participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. As they advance through the program, girls can also explore careers in science and technology, travel the world, discover nature and take on projects that transform their communities.
