A Place to Belong

Give Her a Place to Belong

Every girl needs a place to belong, opportunities to explore, and the confidence to find her own way.

Today’s girls are facing loneliness and growing pressures on their confidence.

A 2026 study of Texas girls revealed nearly 3 in 5 teen girls feel persistently sad and hopeless, much higher than their male counterparts. Teen girls were also more than twice as likely as boys to report feelings of anxiety and depression.

The Girl Scout community delivers powerful experiences that spark friendship, develop leaders, and positively impact girls’ sense of self.

In Central Texas, our results show what happens when girls have Girl Scouts:
