Girl Scout Basics

Girl Scouts is an international organization dedicated solely to girls. In partnership with committed adults, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship and the power of girls together.

No matter what a girl's age, there is a Girl Scout program designed to meet her interests.

Troops

Girls are organized into troops or groups based on age level and interests. Adult volunteers serve as leaders or advisors to the troops or groups.

In addition to meetings, the girls plan and participate in FUN outings and projects designed to build character and skills.
