What Girl Scouts Do: Inspiring Stories for Girls
From traveling the world to making the world a better place, you can do it all, Girl Scout.
Right now, Girl Scouts are camping out, creating dog parks, and cleaning our beaches. They’re making new friends, saying no to bullies, and creating bonds with local senior citizens. They’re creating new laws to protect other kids, the environment, and animals. They’re making useful objects from what would have been trash, building robots to help disabled people, and traveling the world together. On top of all that? They’re learning the ropes as Girl Scout Cookie CEOs.
Get ready to be inspired by the amazing stories of Girl Scouts and Girl Scout volunteers.
