Registration Locations
(New Hartford, NY – Sept. 2015) What is Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts is the largest girl-led organization in the world. Girl Scouts have fun and enjoy new adventures and experiences. Underneath the fun girls are learning important financial literacy skills, healthy relationship skills, knowledge that will help them in science class as they build robots and conduct experiments, and leadership skills that give girls the confidence to assert themselves and ask questions.
Through Girl Scouts, girls are empowered as they move through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, a set of activities and challenges designed to deliver specific benefits to girls at every age level.
There is no one way for girls to be a Girl Scout. Girls can decide they want to join a troop, get outdoors and go to camp, travel the country, explore their interests through series and events, or even just gain life skills by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie program. Girls in kindergarten through 12th grade can become Girl Scouts. The registration fee is $15 per year and financial assistance is available.
Girl Scout volunteers are also needed. Volunteers help to shape girls lives by being positive role models and ensuring they receive amazing experiences.
