What Do Girl Scouts Do
What does it mean to be a Girl Scout?
Girl Scouting provides unique opportunities for youth to build healthy relationships, explore their communities, and develop as leaders.
Girl Scouts discover their strengths as they rise to meet new challenges. From making their first friends to planning the career of their dreams, Girl Scouts at every age build courage and confidence in themselves and strive to make their communities a better place. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way in changing the world.
Be the boss of your own cookie business or direct a team of volunteers for a Gold Award project. However you choose to lead, you’ll learn to make smart decisions, act fairly and responsibly, and let yourself shine.
From hiking in your community to traveling around the world, there are as many ways to find adventure as there are Girl Scouts. Go with a buddy or your entire troop and experience something new.
Learn new skills to earn Girl Scout badges in engineering, leadership, theater, advocacy, arts, camping, entrepreneurship, and more! Then apply those skills to make a difference in your community through a Leadership Journey or by earning a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award.
Girl Scouts is a place for youth to be themselves and to have a chance to try new things. The Girl Scout community is a place of laughter, joy, friendship, and exciting new experiences.
From helping at local food banks, or cleaning a park, to advocating for a cause they believe in, Girl Scouts give back to their communities every day. Explore badges that promote investing in your community, complete a Journey where Girl Scouts learn how to make a difference, or plan a Highest Awards project to make the world a better place.
Grade levels
Each grade level has a unique Girl Scout experience tailored to their interests and abilities in a way that is meaningful—and age-appropriate—to them. Girl Scouts can begin in kindergarten and join at any time all the way through twelfth grade.
