As we head to the end of another great Girl Scout School Year, remember your girl's journey has just begun. Think about it... How many new things has she tried? How many challenges as she overcome? How many times have you watched her turn a "Can I?" into an "I Will!" with that inspired spark in her eyes?
Start thinking about signing her up for another great year of adventures. At Girl Scouts, she can take the lead and not stand in the background. We can't wait to see what she accomplishes!
When you renew her membership by May 31st, she'll receive a FREE Power of G.I.R.L. patch plus other awesome benefits!

Our volunteers are all ages and come from diverse backgrounds. They are MOMS and DADS. They are CAREER PROFESSIONALS with no girls. They run their households caring for one or more girls. They are GRANDPARENTS. They are COLLEGE STUDENTS. They are Girl Scout ALUMS. They are NEW TO GIRL SCOUTS.
95% of volunteers say they make girls' lives better at Girl Scouts (and that makes them happy).

The Girl Scout Difference
Girl Scouts takes the potential of girls, combines it with robust s
kill-building programming, and adds caring adult mentors and strong female role models. Everything a Girl Scout does centers around STEM, the outdoors, development of life skills, and entrepreneurship,and is designed to meet her where she is now and to grow along with her.
