Friendship, adventure and making a difference — it all starts now. 

Looking for a place where you belong? Somewhere you can make new friends, go on exciting adventures and make a difference in the world? That place is Girl Scouts. 

Your Year of Adventure

Girl Scouts are always up for new experiences — spotting owls on a night hike, learning to cook with solar power, writing poetry or even starting a business.

Sound like you? We want you in our crew. 

At Girl Scouts, you’ll find a place to try new things, discover new talents, and most importantly, be fully, totally yourself. 

Join the squad and get ready to make awesome memories with forever friends. 

Sign up for our Extended Year Membership today. For a limited time, you can join for $35 and keep the fun going through September 2024. 

Girl Scout membership must be renewed annually. Membership year is October 1–September 30.

What Girl Scouts Do

When you’re a Girl Scout, you call the shots.

Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams and talents — so when they come together to decide which of the hundreds of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off or filming a movie, they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut and team up with others for good.

The secret sauce holding it all together? Joy. 

Forever friendship is a powerful thing. It’s what gives Girl Scouts the confidence to be themselves, unapologetically. It’s what makes them feel safe enough to try new things and cheer each other on in tough times. It’s the support that can get them up on tough mornings, help them raise their hand in class and even climb to the top of a mountain.

Make friends

It's easy to make new friends as a Girl Scout.

From joining a troop to spending a week at summer camp, Girl Scouts have the chance to meet others from their neighborhood, community and nearby schools. 

Have fun

A space to be yourself. A squad that will cheer you on. A chance to try new things. That’s what being a Girl Scout is all about. Your Girl Scout community is a place to call your own, test your limits and have a blast.

Find adventure

No adventure is too big for a Girl Scout.

From discovering new museums to camping at a state park all weekend, there are a million ways to discover adventure as a Girl Scouts. Go with a buddy or your entire troop and try something new.

Give back

Make an impact on your community.

Restock the local food pantry. Beautify your school’s playground. Lobby for change at a city council meeting. Making the world a better place is all in a day’s work for a Girl Scout.

Take it to the next level when you earn the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Awards — our highest awards — to make a sustainable impact.

Grade levels

Each level of Girl Scouts is unique, with a wide variety of activities to try. Girl Scouts can begin in kindergarten and join all the way through twelfth grade. As a Girl Scout progresses, every level builds upon the last and allows them to explore their interests in a way that is meaningful—and age-appropriate—to them.

We’re here for you!

Whether you want to start a new troop for your girl and her friends or join an existing troop, get started today! Need help or want to talk to someone before you join? Call us at (813) 281 - 4475 or email join@gswcf.org.

Your Year of Inspiration

And grownups, you can have a front-row seat to the fun and community, too. 

Volunteer

Be a role model and have a blast doing it. Volunteer with Girl Scouts and be someone that girls can count on—the one who cheers them on, makes them laugh and always listens when they need it. Just by being your authentic self, you can help build a community where every girl feels accepted. 

Summer is a great time to start volunteering with Girl Scouts. You’ll have a chance to get organized before her troop starts meeting in the fall. 

But remember, you don't have to have a child of your own to get involved, just unbridled enthusiasm and a passion for leading. We can help get you started.
