THERE IS POWER IN EVERY
G. I. R. L.
We Believe in the Power of G.I.R.L. Another Girl Scout year will soon begin and we are excited to offer new programs and badges for girls to explore along with programs that continue to be council favorites. Each program is designed to help our G.I.R.L.s develop new skills and take their Girl Scout journey to the next level. We strive to unite our Girl Scout legacy experiences—like outdoor adventure, camping, and our cookie program—with exciting, modern programs in business and entrepreneurship, computational thinking, engineering, and design to ensure we offer a truly one-of-a-kind experience for today’s girls. Violet M. Apple Chief Executive Officer
From troop meetings to cookie sales, from camping and outdoor adventures to STEM, Girl Scouts is focused on creating fun and challenging opportunities in girl-inclusive safe spaces where girls are free to be themselves and feel secure knowing this organization will celebrate, champion, and even help foster her own unique identity. In addition to an array of programs, this year’s GS411 also provides information about our camp properties, alumnae events, and important council dates and celebrations in an effort to be a more comprehensive resource. Have a great Girl Scout year! Yours in Girl Scouting,
Violet M. Apple Chief Executive Officer
