The Girl Scout program can change the way girls see the world and their place in it. Girls learn the importance of personal responsibility, the value of goal-setting, the spirit of teamwork, and the thrill of accomplishment. The Girl Scout program is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law and four fundamental goals that encourage girls to:

• Develop to their full potential.
• Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect.
• Develop a meaningful set of values to guide their actions and to provide for sound decision-making.
• Contribute to the improvement of society.

Girl Scouts are divided into Daisy Girl Scouts (ages 5-6), Brownie Girl Scouts (ages 6-8), Junior Girl Scouts (ages 8-11), and STUDIO 2B® for girls ages 11-17.
