At Girl Scouts, girls unleash their inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™! How? Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities like earning badges, going on awesome trips, selling cookies, exploring science, getting outdoors, and doing community service projects. At Girl Scouts, girls get to team up with other girls in an all-girl environment to choose the exciting, hands-on activities that interest them most. Along the way, girls gain important skills in four areas that form the foundation of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience: Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) Outdoors Life Skills Entrepreneurship In fact, being a Girl Scout helps girls thrive in five key ways.
