Since 1912, nearly 50 million women in the United
States have become members of the Girl Scouts
It's no surprise, then, that many of those young girls went on to become accomplished professionals in a variety of fields.
Girl Scouting lays the foundation for a solid future. Girls are offered a splendid opportunity to develop their leadership abilities, polish their problem solving and critical thinking skills, and learn how to function as team players.
