Community Outreach Impact
In addition to traditional troops, Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland (GSOH) offers Community Outreach programs to girls in underserved and under-represented communities throughout our council. The Community Outreach Program introduces the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls who are in communities where barriers exist beyond their control and allows them to participate as a Girl Scout in an environment that is familiar to them.
Last year, we were able to serve 2,776 girls through Community Outreach programs. Partnerships included: Columbus Bilingual Academy, Imagine Schools Great Western Academy, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Zanesville, Columbus City Schools, Columbus Recreation & Parks, Communities In Schools, Cambridge City Schools , Chillicothe City Schools, Coshocton City Schools, Educational Academy for Girls & Boys, and many others. We are so grateful to all our community partners that help us provide all girls with a nolimits place to learn, a place to be inspired, and the tools to thrive.

Some of our current programs include:
1. Backpack Program – A program that explores a variety of fun and interactive activities while girls learn about Girl Scouts, explore the outdoors, promote kindness and empathy, experiment with STEM, and feel empowered.
2. Peace It Together – A program that addresses relation aggression, promotes kindness, and appreciates the differences in others.
3. Moneywise – A program developed for girls to sharpen their financial literacy skills as they work towards an understanding of needs versus wants, how to create a basic budget, how to set a financial goal, and all about saving, spending, and sharing.
4. World of STEM – A program designed for girls to learn all about STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) through fun hands-on activities.

What’s in a Badge?
Girl Scouts learn new skills by earning Proficiency Badges created by Girl Scouts of the USA. Each badge has five steps that are designed to help girls explore subjects like STEM, life skills, the outdoors and entrepreneurship. As they progress thorugh our grade levels and complete more badges, they gain a deeper understanding of not only the world around them but also of themselves.

Girl Scouts Grow is a special program that our partner The Scott’s Miracle-Gro Company provides to girls free of cost. We send girls packets of seeds that they plant in their gardens and tend throughout the season. Then, at harvest time they collect their homegrown produce and are asked to donate it to a local food pantry near them!
Through the past six years we have had 8,299 participants in the program, with 2,000 girls participating in 2024. In 2024, over 2,088 pounds of produce were donated from Girl Scouts Grow at home gardens. Over 255 pounds were donated from our community garden at Camp Ken-Jockety. Thank you to Scotts Miracle-Gro Company for helping girls grow, eat, and share.
