Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. With the guidance of supportive adults and peers, Girl Scouts in kindergarten through 12th grade engage in Girl Scout-led, age-progressive, research-backed activities that enable them to discover their values, skills, and the world around them; connect with others in an inclusive environment; and take action to make a difference in their world.
