Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania

We’re a team of trained staff and passionate volunteers who foster girls’ creativity, encourage curiosity and adventure into fun, new things for over 17,000 girls across 30 counties in Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. How? We have a passionate team of volunteers and donors who make a big difference in girls’ lives. We receive funding from product sales, grants, donations, planned giving, program fees and United Ways.

We're 2.6 million strong—1.8 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Our extraordinary journey began more than 100 years ago with the original G.I.R.L., Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. On March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, she organized the very first Girl Scout troop, and every year since, we’ve honored her vision and legacy, building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success. Our Mission Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
