Besides having some really yummy cookies , Girls Scouts offers young girls with a wonderful opportunity to develop skills to make healthy choices and decisions. They learn to work as a team as well as becoming leaders. Girls are gain recognition by accomplishing certain tasks or activities.
Many times young girls will begin to develop trusting relationships with their scout leaders and other Girl Scout sisters. This is especially important for those young girls that come from broken or challenged homes.
These are all very important qualities to develop in our youths that will reduce risk of experimentation and/or use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Any girl 5-17 years old may join who makes the Girl Scout Promise and accepts the Girl Scout Law. Member ship fees are $10 per year.
The Girls Scout Law:
I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be sister to every Girl Scout
The Girl Scout Promise:
On my honor I will try: To serve God and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout law.
