Girl Scouts is the preeminent organization for girls in the CSRA where girls ages 5-17, nurtured by committed adult volunteers, develop leadership skills, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth. Girl Scouts is grounded in strong traditional values and inspires girls to discover, lead and take action to make their world a better place. Girl Scouts collaborates with more than thirty local agencies to make Girl Scouting available to every girl in the CSRA. We seek alliances with other youth-serving organizations working to improve opportunities for youth in our community.
