Girls have many choices among activities outside of school. As a parent, you want her to make the best choice. Here is why we feel that Girl Scouts is that choice:
- Girl Scouts is an all-girl environment. Girls feel safe and free to explore their interests and try new things in a single-gender situation.
- The Girl Scout program is based on almost 100 years of experience in meeting the needs and interests of girls.
- Caring, nurturing volunteers offer girls another positive adult role model in their lives.
- Whatever a girl’s interest, she can pursue it in Girl Scouts. Activities can cover such fields as sports, health and fitness, math and science, the arts, careers and much more.
- Girl Scouts is the largest leadership development organization for girls in the world.
- The Girl Scout Cookie Activity acts as a financial literacy program, teaching girls skills such as sales techniques and money management.
- Girl Scouts teaches girls fundamental values and life skills.
- The Girl Scout organization advocates for girls. We are recognized as one of the leading experts on girls and maintain relationships with government agencies.
- The Girl Scout Research Institute continuously conducts original research and compiles other data to understand what girls are experiencing in their lives and determine how we can be a resource for them.
- Girl Scouts are part of a world-wide organization. We have sisters around the world!
- Girl Scouts is fun and builds lasting friendships!
