Why does Girl Scouts work? Girl Scouts encourages teamwork and collaboration, independence and self-discovery. Girl Scouts learn and apply skills—like positive values, healthy relationships and a strong sense of self—they need today and throughout their lives. Girl Scouts learn vital leadership skills and work collaboratively to solve problems. They gain the confidence and social skills to succeed in life, school, their communities and careers. As active members of the organization and community, Girl Scouts are better prepared for life’s challenges and know how to be problem-solvers.
“There’s no limit to what Girl Scouts can do,” says GSNYPENN CEO Julie Dale. “We help them discover their passions, find their voices, build lifelong friendships and make a difference in the world. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience integrates seamlessly into what they’re already learning in school and their communities, setting them up for a lifetime of leadership, adventure and success.”
Opportunities to participate in Girl Scouts in a troop or as an individually registered member (Juliette) are available. With both options, Girl Scouts can participate in council and community partner programming; community service initiatives and Highest Awards; trips and travel; the annual Treats, Reads & More fall product and Girl Scout Cookie programs; special interest groups like Mariners (boating), Trailblazers (hiking), Astronomy Club, Girl Advisory Board (advising GSNYPENN’s CEO on issues facing girls today), or River Raiders (paddling); and more.
Interested in becoming an adult volunteer? Opportunities range from being a troop leader for the member year to serving as a cookie coordinator to volunteering on an episodic basis to share a special skill or talent with Girl Scouts. More information can be found at gsnypenn.org/volunteer.
