Faith Partner Guide to Girl Scouting

GIRL SCOUT Fundamentals The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities like earning badges, going on awesome trips, selling cookies, exploring science, getting outdoors, and conducting community service projects.

The idea is to learn by doing, and at Girl Scouts, girls do lots of it.

“Part of the power of Girl Scouts, for me, are the people. Those in my neighborhood and those who we help through service. Denny is the guy who does our April Showers truck. I’ve worked alongside him since I was in fifth grade. Every year when I go back, he remembers me. Everyone you meet through Girl Scouts is nice, genuinely nice.” Kimberly Cylne Adult Volunteer “Being involved in Girl Scouts, especially as a leader and role model, has given me an additional layer of accountability. I am even more conscious of how my own personal life journey will have an affect on, not only the girls I work with, but also their families for generations to come. Volunteering as a leader is my way of hopefully having a positive ripple affect in our society. ” Steph Sims Adult Volunteer

“I’ve been in Girl Scouts since third grade. I recently joined the SWENext Club because Girl Scouts has never had this club before. I’m building things and that’s cool. My favorite activity so far has been making cards that light up using circuits.” Mackenzie Williams 14-year-old Girl Scout

“Girl Scouts taught me how to be more selfless. I’ve recognized my own personal privilege and how best to help others.

I’m also a more confident individual because of Girl Scouts.”

Gabrielle Carmichael 18-year-old Gold Award Girl Scout

“I love Girl Scouts because I get hang out with my friends and fellow Girl Scout sisters. We get to do many things we wouldn’t normally be able to do.” Maylene 11-year-old Girl Scout
