Girl Scouts Make a Difference

Preparing girls for a lifetime of leadership

When they’re advocating for our communities, discovering the outdoors, exploring science and technology, or powering new adventures as part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, Girl Scouts discover they can achieve anything!

Girl-led, expert-approved, and volunteer-supported, Girl Scouts helps girls discover their strengths and change the world.

These inspiring go-getters, innovators, risk-takers, and leaders know what it means to be a Girl Scout—and what it takes to be an unstoppable woman on a powerful mission.
