What do Girl Scouts do? The answer is almost anything a girl would like to do!

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is girl-driven, reflecting the ever-changing needs and interests of participating girls. It provides girls in kindergarten through twelve grade with a wide variety of leadership opportunities available in Girl Scout journeys, books, awards, the Go Girls Only, STUDIO 2B, and other GSUSA Web sites, as well as other resources.

The program encourages increased skill-building and responsibility, and also promotes the development of strong leadership and decision-making skills. All program activities are grade-appropriate and based on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, as well as on the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Read more about the opportunities available in these different areas of focus:

Every girl who registers as a Girl Scout can enjoy the many activities organized by her local Girl Scout council. Each Girl Scout council offers activities that meet the needs and interests of girls within their jurisdictions. Some program activities are shared by all Girl Scouts; others may only be available locally, require girls to apply, or be restricted by grade.

No matter what age, girls learn the value and the fun of sharing experiences in an all-girl environment, with caring, trained adults to serve as mentors and models. All activities are designed with girls in mind to spark their interests, address their concerns, build their skills, and explore the world around them.
