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 wants to hike in the woods, or camp under the stars, 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

Your Girl Scout Year

Is It Summer Yet!?

We coordinate with hundreds of dedicated Girl Scout volunteers to help put on more than 20 day camps each summer. We offer a Day Camp at a variety of locations and prices starting at $110 per week. Day Camp is a great way to try new things with friends and build some confidence in your outdoor skills. Day Camp also offers great leadership opportunities through our Program Aide, Leader in Action, and Assistant Program Leader sessions.

Resident Camp is offered all summer long and is a great opportunity to build independence, confidence, and friendships. Resident Camp is an overnight camp and is offered in mini sessions (2 nights) or full sessions (5 nights) and cost ranges from $300-700. You don’t even have to be in a Girl Scout troop to attend! Camp is open to every girl, everywhere.

Volunteer Enrichement Events Just For Our Members!

GSOH is having two signature events for volunteers only this year! The Adult Camporee is at Molly Lauman Sept. 13-15, 2024. This event will feature the 100th birthday of “Tajar” while exploring space under a starry sky.

The second amazing event will be the return of the Autumn Adventure on November 2, 2024, at our very own AEP Foundation STEM Leadership Center and Nationwide Foundation Environmental Center. Adult volunteers will be given the opportunity to choose from a great array of enrichment classes from crafts for adults, learning about take action projects, enjoying a tea party, taking first aid/CPR and much more.

Both events are available for registration on gsEvents.

You Can Dream Right Here!

Showing Girls the Wonders of STEM

Just a few years ago, we had the vision to create an immersive space where both our Girl Scouts and the community alike could gather to discover their potential, develop STEM skills, and make lifelong connections. The Dream Big Transformational Initiative was born from this vision and was lifted off the ground thanks to our generous donors and community support.

After over a year of construction, we are finally seeing this vision become a reality in our Battelle Science and Innovation Campus which is now home to the AEP Foundation STEM Leadership Center and Nationwide Foundation Environmental Center. We are so excited to share the exciting new STEM programs and more we will be offering in our new space. Take a look at some of these programs.

You Can Still Help The Dream!

When you donate to the Dream Big initiative you are helping girls reach for the stars and discover themselves in STEM careers. Visit gsoh.org/dreambig or scan the QR code to learn more and donate today!
