Girl Scouts of the USA supports the development of young girls and women for a life of leadership and success. They are much more than just their “Girl Scout Cookies” that have become part of mainstream American life but support over 1.8 million girl members; 800,000 adults and help girls thrive in five key ways.
These five key ways include developing a strong sense of self, seeking challenges and learning from setbacks, displaying positive values, forming and maintaining healthy relationships, identifying and solving problems in the community. Girl Scouts of the USA creates a safe environment for girls to try new things, develop a variety of new skills, take on leadership roles and get to be themselves.
Girls who participate in Girl Scouts of the USA also do better in the classroom compared to girls who don’t. The earn better grades, have higher academic aspirations and are more likely to desire a STEM, business or law career where women are currently underrepresented. Their website (https://www.girlscouts.org), also offers great information and resources about girls leadership and programs.
