About Us
|
In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship and power of
girls together. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full
individual potential; relate to others with increasing
understanding, skill and respect; develop values to guide their
actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and
contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities,
leadership skills and cooperation with others.

Girls
page.
In partnership with committed adults; girls develop qualities that
will serve them all their lives – like strong values, social
conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.

and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
