Thank you for being a Girl Scout member
Girls have always been and will always remain at the center of Girl Scouts.

The Core Business Strategy ensures that we can give girls the courage, confidence, and character they need to be successful in today's world and make the world of tomorrow a better place. We're mobilizing expertise from across our organization to focus on six important areas for girls:

  • Enhancing our programs to meet the evolving needs of girls and parents
  • Increasing flexible and meaningful opportunities for volunteers, who remain the strength of our organization
  • Building and protecting the strength of the Girl Scout brand
  • Ensuring that our funding streams are strong and well-balanced
  • Where necessary, reinforcing efficiency and effectiveness in our governance and organizational structure, and
  • Promoting a culture that inspires all members and volunteers of Girl Scouts

The Core Business Strategy starts by reminding us that the Girl Scout Promise and Law are the foundation for our Movement. From spirituality to patriotism, from sisterhood to service, we have retained the best of our historical values.

Our evolution will serve to reinforce and continue the Girl Scouts' signature role as the best leadership development program for girls ages 5-17.

Thank you again for being a Girl Scout member. We look forward to your participation in this most exciting time for our Movement.

Teamwork: Six teams set our evolution in motion by getting feedback from many of you and analyzing and identifying the changes that need to take place to bridge the “gap” between where Girl Scouts is today and where we want to be in the future. Five teams were responsible for implementing one of the strategic priorities; the sixth focused on ways to improve our culture.
