Girl Scouts: Commonwealth Council of VA

Girl Scouting encourages girls to develop their full potentials; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill and respect; develop values to guide their actions and decisions; and contribute to the improvement of society. Program activities are carried out in small groups with volunteer adult leadership and provide a wide range of activities to meet the needs and interests of girls ages 5 through 17.

Activities are designed to girls learn and practice making strong decisions, care for and be considerate of others, accept the consequences of their actions, show responsibility, set and follow through with goals, resolve conflict, manage and organize resources, and carry our their roles as a member of a team.
