WE ARE GIRL SCOUTS.
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from central and southern Missouri to southeast Kansas to northeast Oklahoma, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends.
Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.

WHAT GIRL SCOUTS DO
It’s easy to make new friends as a Girl Scout.
From joining a troop to spending a week at summer camp, Girl Scouts have the chance to meet others from their neighborhood, community, and nearby schools.
A space to be herself.
A squad that will cheer her on. A chance to try new things. That’s what being a Girl Scout is all about. The Girl Scout community is a place to call her own, test her limits, and have a blast.
From discovering new museums to camping at a state park all weekend, there are as many ways to discover adventure as there are Girl Scouts.
Making an impact on the community.
Restocking the local food pantry. Beautifying a school’s playground. Lobbying for change at a city council meeting. Making the world a better place is all in a day’s work for a Girl Scout.
Girl Scouts have endless opportunities to lead.
Anyone can tell others what to do. A true leader can make smart decisions, act fairly and responsibly, and let others on the team shine as they work together. Whether it’s running their cookie business or directing a team of volunteers for a Gold Award project.
No adventure is too big for a Girl Scout. Learn new skills.
Then take those badge skills further with a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award. A highest award allows Girl Scouts to show they know how to take action, better their community, and how to solve a problem, permanently.
4 GIRL SCOUTS OF THE MISSOURI HEARTLAND 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.
The secret sauce holding it all together? Joy.
Forever friendship is a powerful thing. It’s what gives Girl Scouts the confidence to be themselves, unapologetically. It’s what makes them feel safe enough to try new things and cheer each other on in tough times. It’s the support that can get them up on tough mornings, help them raise their hand in class, and even climb to the top of a mountain.
