What it does:
The Girl Scout Movement provides an informal educational program to inspire girls with
the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service so that they will become resourceful, responsible
citizens. Serving girls ages 5 through 17, Girl Scouts provides a lively, spirited environment where girls
grow strong, find fun, friendship, and adventure. In a positive interactive climate with adult volunteers,
girls are motivated to learn and achieve through successful experiences. Girl Scout activities will continue
the traditional purpose of developing values of personal worth, progressive citizenship, service, and appreciation
of diversity so that these girls will become effective citizens and leaders of the future.
