What Girl Scouts Do

When you’re a Girl Scout, the possibilities are endless

Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.

The secret sauce holding it all together? Joy.

Forever friendship is a powerful thing. It’s what gives Girl Scouts the confidence to be themselves, unapologetically. It’s what makes them feel safe enough to try new things and cheer each other on in tough times. It’s the support that can get them up on tough mornings, help them raise their hand in class, and even climb to the top of a mountain.

Join us at one of our exclusive in-person events!

We are inviting all girls to learn more about how they can get started in Girl Scouts. Check out the list of exclusive Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming events in your area.

Make friends
It's easy to make new friends as a Girl Scout.

From joining a troop to spending a week at summer camp, Girl Scouts have the chance to meet others from their neighborhood, community, and nearby schools. They may even meet local leaders during a service project!

Have fun
A space to be yourself.

A squad that will cheer you on. A chance to try new things. That’s what being a Girl Scout is all about. Your Girl Scout community is a place to call your own, test your limits, and have a blast.

Find adventure
No adventure is too big for a Girl Scout.

From discovering new museums to camping at a state park all weekend, there are as many ways to discover adventure as there are Girl Scouts. Go with a buddy or your entire troop and try something new.

Give back
Make an impact on your community.

Restock the local food pantry. Beautify your school’s playground. Lobby for change at a city council meeting. Making the world a better place is all in a day’s work for a Girl Scout. Take it to the next level when you earn the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Awards—our highest awards—to make a sustainable impact.

Lead your way
Girl Scouts have endless opportunities to lead.

Anyone can tell others what to do. A true leader can make smart decisions, act fairly and responsibly, and let others on the team shine as they work together. Whether it’s running their cookie business or directing a team of volunteers for a Gold Award project.

Earn badges & awards
Learn new skills.

Then take those badge skills further with a Leadership Award or a Highest Award. Leadership Awards allow Girl Scouts to show they know how to take action and make a difference in their community. A Highest Award shows they know how to make sustainable change.

Grade levels

Each level of Girl Scouts is unique with a wide variety of activities to try. Girl Scouts can begin in kindergarten and join all the way through twelfth grade. As a Girl Scout progresses, every level builds upon the last and allows them to explore their interests in a way that is meaningful—and age-appropriate—to them.
