“I am just so proud to be able to lead a mentored troop that is giving girls the opportunity to be Girl Scouts in an environment that I wish I had as a little girl.”
—Lori Cowan
New Mentored Troop Leader
We strive to provide every girl with the opportunity to experience enriching programs that blend critical life skill development with activities that support academic success and leadership.
The Community Engagement Team at Girl Scouts River Valleys has developed over 30 community partnerships in 2019. Check out some of our community partners.
We cultivate authentic and holistic relationships with communities of color and community organizations that serve people of color in Minnesota.
We also lead the development and growth of Girl Scouts River Valleys’ Mentored Troops, a pathway that actively works toward increasing the ethnic diversity and representation of girls and volunteers of color in Minnesota.
