*Financial assistance is available for participation fees and more. No proof of income is required.

**Girl Scout membership is renewed annually. Our membership year is October 1-September 30.

Why be a Daisy?

Joining Girl Scouts unlocks a world of benefits for young girls—boosting confidence, making new friends, and building essential social skills through hands-on, screen-free fun. It’s a safe, nurturing space where kindergarteners and first graders can explore their world and begin developing lifelong leadership skills.

Girl Scout Basics

 

Why choose Girl Scouts?

 

Girl Scouts' unique programs bring out the best in kids and help them become the confident leaders they were born to be. While they’re having fun and trying new things, they're also building important life skills, discovering the power of their voice, and learning to give back to their community.

 

How does it work?

 

Groups of Girl Scouts, called troops, typically meet once or twice per month for an hour or two. Guided by adult volunteers, troop members choose hands-on activities and projects that excite them. Troops are often formed around schools, neighborhoods, faith communities, or other social groups.

 

When can I get started?

 

Whenever you’re ready! Grades K-12 are welcome to join at any point in the year.

What do Daisies do?

  • Make Friends – The first step to friendships that last forever? Feeling totally comfortable being yourself. Daisies are part of a community that celebrates them just the way they are.
  • Have Fun – No matter which activities Daisies choose to explore, joy and laughter are at the center of everything they do. 
  • Try New Things – Whether they’re building a robot, planning a hike, or making up songs with their troop, Daisies put teamwork into action as they experience new adventures.
  • Find Community – Girl Scouts isn’t just for kids! The families in your troop will help you and your Daisy practice kindness, bravery, and generosity as they become a supportive circle of friends.
  • Help Others – Planting trees, collecting food donations, or making someone else smile — Daisies learn that no action is too small and you’re never too young to give back to your community.
