We Are Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas

Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world.

Girls 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.

You can join the fun locally.

Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas (GSSWT) serves more than 10,000 Girl Scouts in 21 counties. We champion girls as they pursue their passions and forge their future. By supporting girls and amplifying their voices, we give them a chance to discover a lifetime of self-assurance, adventure, and achievement.

Like all Girl Scouts councils, we are diverse and inclusive. More than 65 percent of the girls in our council are non-white, and approximately 50 percent of girls live in marginalized communities. For many, Girl Scout programming provides a pathway for them to reach their goals and achieve success.

Programming includes financial literacy, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), health and wellness, the arts, and citizenship. Girls can participate in councilsponsored events, attend day and overnight camps, sell cookies, go on field trips, engage in community service, and travel.

Girls in grades K-12 can be members through volunteerled troops, as independently registered Girl Scouts, through our Gamma Sigma Pearls™ and Gamma Sigma Girls® leadership development programs in select schools, through in-school programming in select schools, and through collaborative programming provided by select fellow youth-serving organizations. These avenues ensure we reach girls where they are, especially in underserved communities.
