Programs For Everyone
Were you a Girl Scout? Do you remember the joy of accomplishing a task, sitting around a campfire with friends, providing service to your community, learning about yourself, your country and the world around you, and knowing you had the skills to deal with all that life handed you? In Girl Scouts you learned to be a leader and - just as important - a follower. For Girls:
Girls participate in a variety of programs and activities:
