K–12 Schools + Girl Scouts = Something Powerful
Every girl has dreams. Girl Scouts help her build the confidence—and the skills—to actually go after them.
Right now, Girl Scouts are raising their hands, trying new things, and figuring out what they’re capable of. They’re standing up to challenges, speaking out for what matters, and using what they learn to make a real impact. It’s what Girl Scouts have been doing since 1912—and it’s still going strong.
And it works. Research shows Girl Scouts are more likely to get good grades, graduate from college, and feel confident about their future. They’re not just learning—they’re growing into leaders.
That’s where we come in.
We partner with schools to bring hands-on, engaging programming that connects directly to your curriculum. From STEM and the outdoors to life skills and entrepreneurship, Girl Scouts gives students real-world experiences they can carry into the classroom—and beyond.
When you team up with Girl Scouts, you’re not just adding a program. You’re helping girls grow into confident, capable, and courageous leaders—ready to take on whatever comes next.

How We Work Together
Girl Scouts is built on strong partnerships with educators, parents, and mentors. Through these collaborations, we ensure that girls have access to the tools and support they need to grow into confident leaders. Together, we help girls:
• Discover their strengths and embrace their unique qualities.
• Build lasting connections with peers from diverse backgrounds.
• Overcome challenges and step into leadership roles, both at school and in their communities.
By working as a team, we provide girls with the foundation they need to succeed today and in the future.
