Girl Scouts

Why do Girl Scouts? Davis Older Girl Scouts Local Girl Scouts Activity Resources Money Resources
I have just completed my 20th year in Girl Scouting. I really love it! I started in Boise, ID as part of the Silver Sage Girl Scouts. I spent 12 years with Girl Scout Troop 143. I then went to University of Idaho in Moscow,Idaho and joined the Inland Empire Girl Scout Council where I tried to start a campus Girl Scout group called Campus Gold. I am now a member of Tierra del Oro Girl Scout Council. In this council I am adult education trainer, a member of the Studio 2B Committee and I help out with older girl activities.

Why do Girl Scouts?

For every 100 girls who join Girl Scouts:

Four will earn the Girl Scout Gold Award-the highest award for girls.
Twelve will have their first contact with a church.
Five will earn their church religious award.
Only rarely will one be brought before juvenile court.
One will enter the clergy.
Eighteen will develop hobbies used during their adult life.
Eight will enter a vocation that was learned through the badge or patch program.
Seventeen will be future Girl Scout volunteers.
One will use her Girl Scouting skills to save a life.
One will use her Girl Scouting skills to save her own life.

That is a pretty good return on an investment in Girl Scouting!
