Out-of-the classroom activities are at the core of Girl Scouts! Girls get to lead their own adventures and team up with others in an all-girl environment to choose the exciting, hands-on activities that interest them most. The idea is to learn by doing, and at Girl Scouts, they’ll do lots of it. The main components of the Girl Scout program are STEM, outdoor activities, life skills, and entrepreneurship and while girls may be exposed to these subjects at school or in other youth programs at Girl Scouts they experience them in a uniquely girl-led, collaborative way that puts them on a path to a lifetime of leadership, adventure and success.

It’s in our nature—to camp! Camp experiences and friendships are made to last a lifetime. Between the nature walks, archery, tie-dye, songs, and sisterhood, campers are sure to develop new skills and come home with confidence and wonderful stories. Camp helps our kids build resilience, confidence and learn how to build community. Our trained and caring staff supports Girl Scouts ages 5-17 in discovering who they are and what they can become.

Welcome to Virtual Girl Scouts! – a fun, new way to continue to participate in Girl Scouts from home.  Explore outside, experiment with coding, create beautiful art – your adventure starts now!  Activities will be connected with a badge or fun patch that you may purchase from our Girl Scout Shops.
