Causes: Children & Youth, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
Mission: Girl scouts build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
Programs: Camps and outdoor programs - we provide year-round outdoor programs that give girls an opportunity to develop wilderness skills, discover an affinity for nature, and seek out new challenges at day camps, residential camps, and innovative environmental education.
girl scout leadership experience - the girl scout leadership experience aligns to five research-based youth development outcomes. These outcomes are achieved through age-appropriate activities that help girls discover their values, skills, and the world around them; connect with others in a multicultural environment; and take action to make a difference in their world. As a result of girl scout programs:- girls have confidence in themselves and their abilities, and form positive identities. - girls act ethically, honestly, and responsibly, and show concern for others. - girls take appropriate risks, try things even if they might fail, and learn from mistakes. - girls develop and maintain healthy relationships by communicating their feelings directly and resolving conflicts constructively. - girls desire to contribute to the world in purposeful and meaningful ways, learn how to identify problems in the community, and create "action plans" to solve them.
girl scouts changes lives - each year, thousands of girls have experiences in girl scouts that change their lives. We strive to create innovative, unique programming that gives girls the opportunity to discover her voice, gain courage and confidence, and make the world a better place. We serve over 41,000 girl members in over 3,900 volunteer-led troops. We work with afterschool outreach partners to serve girls in community based programs.
retail and other - our retail operations equips girls with program support items, such as uniforms, kits and badges. Support activities with no direct revenue provide girls with the support they need to access registration systems and training modules to simplify and enhance the girl scout experience.
