Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development experience in the world for girls—period. And because of Girl Scouts, millions of women and girls are able to tackle problems life throws their way, have unique experiences they wouldn’t have anywhere else, and can go out of their comfort zone to do what needs to be done.
Don’t just take our word for it.
These G.I.R.L.s (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader) are ground-breakers and change makers. They are successful, and they are making the world a better place—because of Girl Scouts. And they are a testament to why every girl should be a Girl Scout.
#becauseofGirlScouts my daughter conquered her swimming hesitation, jumping off of the diving board, swimming like a fish AND stayed overnight away from family for the first time last week at summer camp. #dellwood #girlscoutsofcentralindiana #brownies— Stacey Miller (@staceynmiller07) June 11, 2018
#BecauseOfGirlScouts I have my career. A Photograhy merit badge when I was 12 years old literally changed my life and showed me my future. Now I’m shooting films and television and I love my work. I can’t imagine my life any other way.

#BecauseOfGirlScouts I learned how to be a leader and operate a business. In Girl Scouts I have earned my Silver Award and am working towards my Gold. I have been a camper for eight years and became a camp counselor recently and have made important connections and friendships. 💚— Gen Yoshi (@gen_yoshi03) May 23, 2018

#becauseofGirlScouts I landed my dream job because of the skills I learned as a troop leader, organizer, and day camp volunteer. I put those roles on my resume and was able to draw from those experiences in my interview.— Shakira Isom (@kiraatl) June 11, 2018
