Programs and Resources

What do Girl Scouts do? Practically anything a girl would like to do!

The Girl Scout experience is girl-driven, which means it reflects the ever-changing needs and interests of participating girls in kindergarten through grade twelve. Cookies and Camp are just two of the hundreds of programs and activities that help girls develop important life skills, and values such as leadership, confidence, and determination.

Girls can choose from more than 1,100 council-sponsored program events in a variety of focus areas, including leadership and self esteem, community outreach and education, environmental awareness, financial literacy, health and wellness, science, technology, engineering and math, the arts, and travel.  To make registration as easy as possible, River Valleys has created a council sponsored program event registration procedures document.
