I love seeing the girls gain confidence. Our troop had a lot of shy girls and I’ve seen them try new things, get out of their comfort zone, make new friends, and learn to interact. Being a volunteer is a lot of fun and it’s worth every bit you put into it.

Why Girl Scouts? In Girl Scouting, girls discover, connect, and take action as they learn to become leaders. The entire Girl Scout program– regardless of the exact topic–is centered on leadership outcomes. Every girl has greatness inside her and Girl Scouts helps her find it. Our 59 million alumnae are more successful in school, developed a stronger sense of self, and report greater satisfaction with life than their peers. Proof is in the Numbers Many successful women today credit Girl Scouts with their professional success. In fact, 82% of Girl Scout alumnae say that Girl Scouts played a positive role in their development. Here are the Facts: • 22 of NASA’s career astronauts are former Girl Scouts • 81% of Girl Scouts are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to attend college • More than 53% of women business owners are former Girl Scouts • Nearly 70% of women in U.S. Congress today were former Girl Scouts • Girl Scouts are 81% more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree • 90% of Girl Scouts will not participate in underage drinking • 96% of Girl Scout will never use drugs • Girl Scout girls and volunteers give roughly 269,000 hours of service a year toward community projects and events.
