What parents say
"Absolutely LOVE GIRL SCOUTS‼️‼️ Been an Adult Volunteer for over 17 years and really enjoyed the event for the Girl Scouts at the STEM Center of Excellence. I truly believe that ALL girls should be Girl Scouts. The lessons they learn, the experiences they earn, the countless opportunities to serve their local, state, national, and international communities is awemazing. Years of learning and living from a place of excellence and leadership is something I feel all children can benefit from. My college student is a lifetime member, my 12 year old is following in her footsteps. They are required "
