Registration underway to join Girl Scouts

At Girl Scouts, girls are always counting down to the next adventure they will go on together.  Maybe it is artistic.  Maybe it's an experiment.  Maybe it's getting outside or helping the community. 

With Girl Scouting, girls make new friends and have a ton of new experiences that show how exciting the world is, and how awesome girls are. When girls just can't wait for what they'll do next, they can do anything they set their mind to! This is what Girl Scouts call the “I can’t wait to” feeling.
