Founded in 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA is the preeminent organization for girls with a current membership of 3.6 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting is open to all girls 5-17 regardless of race, creed, nationality or soci0-economic status. There are six Girl Scouting age levels:

• Daisy Girl Scouts- Kindergarten- grade 1
• Brownie Girl Scouts- grades 2-3
• Junior Girl Scouts- grades 4-5
• Cadette Girl Scouts- grades 6-8
• Senior Girl Scouts- grades 9-10
• Ambassador Girl Scouts- 11-12

Volunteers use their expertise, skills, interests, and life experience to:

• shape fun and enriching leadership experiences for girls, and inspire them to reach their personal best.
• help council staff facilitate the New Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls through exciting program opportunities: leadership/self-esteem, financial literacy, travel, health/wellness, science, technology, engineering, and math.
• choose from several flexible Pathways (the ways that girls and adults join Girl Scouting) that fit their lifestyles.
• provide short-term or long-term service working either directly or indirectly with girls.
