When you’re a Girl Scout, you call the shots.
Girl Scouts of all ages, from kindergarten through 12th grade, unleash their potential through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a series of engaging, challenging, and fun activities like earning badges, going on awesome trips, selling cookies, exploring science, getting outdoors, and doing community service projects.
Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good. And they do it all with besties who’ve got their back.
There's something for everyone.
Girl Scouts are placed in the appropriate Girl Scout level according to what grade they’re in at school. Girl Scouts can begin in kindergarten or join all the way through twelfth grade. Discover what Girl Scouts do at every age.
It's easy to make new friends as a Girl Scout.
From joining a troop to spending a week at summer camp, Girl Scouts have the chance to meet others from their neighborhood, community, and nearby schools.
Bring a bit more happy to your life.
Girl Scouts have a blast. They know bringing the fun is all about being their true selves, trying new things, and cheering each other on.
No adventure is too big for a Girl Scout.
From discovering new museums to camping at a state park all weekend, there are as many ways to discover adventure as there are Girl Scouts. Go with a buddy or your entire troop and try something new.
Make an impact on your community.
Making the world a better place is all in a day’s work for a Girl Scout. Take it to the next level when you earn the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Awards—our highest awards—to make a sustainable impact.
Girl Scouts have endless opportunities to lead.
Anyone can tell others what to do. A true leader can make smart decisions, act fairly and responsibly, and let others on the team shine as they work together. Whether it’s running their cookie business or directing a team of volunteers for a Gold Award project.
Earn badges and awards.
Take those badge skills further by completing a Journey or a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award. A Journey award allows Girl Scouts to show they know how to take action and make a difference in their community. A highest award shows they know how to solve a problem, permanently.
