The Girl Scouts of America is open to all girls of the parish from grades kindergarten through twelve. Girl Scouts provides, as it always has, the best opportunities for girls to get the experiences and tools they need to be successful leaders now, and throughout their lives. 

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience engages girls in:

• Discovering themselves
• Connecting with others, and
• Taking action to make the world a better place.

These discoveries happen through the Girl Scout program, which is intentionally designed to be:

• Girl Driven - by the girls, for the girls.
• Experiential - learning by doing.
• Cooperative - working in small groups and teams.
• Non-Formal - intentional learning activities with girls directing the outcome.

 

With their Girl Scout leaders, girls team with one another to implement their own troop activities, based on their interests. In addition to helping girls take ownership of their experience, Girl Scout leaders ensure all activities are grade-appropriate and based on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, as well as on the Girl Scout Promise and Law. They encourage each girl to express her feelings and ideas in this all-girl, girl-driven environment and to build leadership skills through the girl/adult planning approach. For information a
