Girl
Scouts is the world's preeminent organization dedicated
solely to girls. In a nurturing environment, girls build
character and skills for success in the real world. In
partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities
like social conscience and conviction about their potential
and self-worth. Through Girl Scouting, girls discover the
fun, friendship and power of girls together. They grow
courageous and strong through the many enriching experiences
we provide. |
