We are big fans of the Girl Scouts! The leadership program, the career introspective opportunities, the shared culture, and the chance to make great friends has impacted the lives of my girls and myself. Girl Scouts gives a safe chance for girls to develope leadership skills, to demonstrate them, and to reflect on improvement and success. It's way more than cookies :) !! This particular council has listened to the volunteer's needs and has changed to be more supportive with material and support staff. We look forward to a long relationship with scouting!

Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Girl scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.
Programs: The girl scout leadership experience - the girl scout leadership experience prepares girls to be future leaders in their communities, businesses, and families by combining skills education on problem solving, conflict resolution, resilience, team building, and diversity with exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math (stem), financial literacy, environmental stewardship, advocacy, and health. Our program reflects the belief that a leader understands herself and her values (discover), cares about, inspires, and teams with others (connect), and acts to make the world a better place (take action). During the year ended september 30, 2017, the girl scout leadership experience gave over 39,000 girls the tools they need to make the world a better place, and provided over 13,500 girls with financial assistance.
