Membership in 
Girl Scouting

Are you interested in learning 
a sport, sampling the arts,

stories online, traveling to 
exotic locales, or speaking 
on behalf of girls in 
Washington , D.C. ? In Girl 
Scouting, you can do it all! 
Girls ages 5-17 can join as girl

Many Ways to Be a 
Girl Scout

A girl can be a Girl Scout in 
many different ways. 
She can:

Register individually and 
get regular updates by 
mail on  council-wide 
events and 
opportunities.

Sign up for Girl Scout 
Camp. Many Girl Scout 
councils offer day and  
resident camping 
opportunities for girls.

Join a short-term interest 
group.  Many Girl Scout 
councils offer four- six
month long sessions 
focusing on careers, 
engineering, sports, 
theater,  and money 
management, just 
to name  a few!

Join a troop/group 
with a group of girls 
and a couple of adults 
in your area.

Attend a drop-in site at a 
community or housing center. 
Many councils partner with 
community groups and 
other  organizations to 
provide Girl Scouting to 
girls on an as-
needed basis.
