Life Skills  Arts & Humanities  Health & Wellness  Advocacy & Engagement Through our Life Skills programs, members will develop a strong sense of self and their potential. They’ll discover the importance of staying active and making healthy choices while becoming a more confident leader who wants to make the world a better place. By giving them different perspectives and opportunities to make a difference, they’ll be inspired to give back and share the good!

.Entrepreneurship The Girl Scout Fall Product Program and the Girl Scout Cookie Program are two ways for members to earn while they learn and run their own business. The skills they develop—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—will set them up for success beyond anything they could imagine.

.Outdoor Education Experiencing the outdoors is a great way to develop an appreciation for nature, build skills, and see Earth as our home. Whether your Girl Scout want to hike in the woods, camp under the stars, or learn how to ride horses, our programs give them the chance to enjoy the outdoors in new and exciting ways!

.STEM Girl Scouts will get hands-on experiences in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math with a variety of activities that encourage them to explore their interests in STEM careers.

.Adults Required This symbol indicates that adult supervision is required. Adults must register for these programs.

.Adults Required: Overnight This symbol indicates that adult supervision is required at an overnight event. Adults must register for these programs, have a current membership, and successfully complete a background check.
