Frequently asked questions toggle arrow

What is Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts is more than an activity—it’s a Movement dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

Why do girls love being Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts is a way of life that brings out the best in your girl, even in the most challenging of times. While they’re learning about STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and important life skills, Girl Scouts are also discovering new ways to make their family and community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone.

How does it work? What’s a “troop”?
Groups of Girl Scouts, called troops, typically meet weekly or every other week for an hour or two. Guided by adult volunteers, troop members choose the hands-on activities and projects that excite them, try new things, and cheer each other on. Together, they earn badges to reflect their successes and show the world what they’re made of.

What’s the goal?
Making sure girls are given the opportunity to reach their full potential by developing values and skills that will lead them to happier lives.  

Is Girl Scouts affordable?
Financial aid is available upon request for membership dues, events, and camps. Additionally, girls may participate in Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Programs to practice their entrepreneurial skills while earning money to fund their Girl Scout experiences.

When can I get started?
If your girl is ready to let her best self shine and start creating the world she wants to see, she's ready to be a Girl Scout today. When you sign up for the first time, you will have two options to unlock a world full of adventures, friendships, and discoveries.

Get started today.
