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.
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 building a robot, 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.

Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development experience for
girls in the world.
Our Girl Scout Leadership Experience is a one-of-a-kind
leadership development program for girls, with proven results. It is
based on time-tested methods and research-backed programming that
help girls take the lead—in their own lives and in the world.
Research shows that girls learn best in an all-girl, girl-led, and girl-friendly environment. Girl Scouts is a place where she’ll practice different skills, explore her potential, take on leadership positions—and even feel allowed to fail, dust herself off, get up, and try again.
Girl Scouts is proven to help girls thrive in five key ways as
they:
Develop a strong sense of self.
Seek challenges and learn from setbacks.
Display positive values.
Form and maintain healthy relationships.
Identify and solve problems in the community.
Girl Scouts takes the potential of girls, combines it with robust skill-building programming, and adds caring adult mentors and strong female role models.
Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM,
the outdoors,
development of life
skills, and entrepreneurship,
and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with
her.
Whether she’s building a robotic arm, coding her first app, building a shelter in the backcountry, or packing for her first hike, a Girl Scout has an exciting array of choices to suit her interests at every age.
At Girl Scouts, “Can I?” quickly turns into “I will!” as girls transform their ideas into action, turn their questions into adventure, and grow their confidence through practice. And with more than 60 million other G.I.R.L.s to cheer them on every step of the way, there’s no limit to what she can accomplish.
Girl Scouts works. It’s the best leadership experience for girls in the world for one very good reason: because it’s girl-led!
