Girl Scouts prepare for fun, friendship, and new adventures while making the world a better place.
What Do Girl Scouts Do?
Girl Scouts from kindergarten through high school earn badges and leadership awards, go camping – and yes, they sell cookies – as part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
Girls learn the confidence through choosing their badges and organizing how they are done, engage in hands on activities, and build relationships with their Girl Scout sisters and with others in the community by working collaboratively to solve problems.
With the help of supportive adults and troop leaders, girls try new things, share their full selves, and see how good it feels to lead from the heart.

Highest Awards
Daisies and Brownies learn the basics of what it means to be a good neighbor and how they can help others. They build on this foundation to earn the Bronze Award as Juniors and the Silver Award as Cadettes.
Seniors and Ambassadors earn the Gold Award —the highest award in Girl Scouting—by developing and carrying out lasting solutions to issues in their neighborhoods and beyond. Gold Award Girl Scouts truly are the world changers, rock stars, role models, and real-life heroes we all look up to. Plus, they’re amazing candidates for colleges, scholarships, competitive internship programs, and exciting careers.
