Because girls were meant for outdoor adventure, Girl Scouting gives her the opportunity to discover the beauty and wonders of the natural world. As she explores, hikes, swims, and camps, she’ll be building outdoor skills and the confidence to challenge herself to do more. Guided by supportive peers and adults, she develops a deeper understanding of plants, wildlife, and ecosystems, and will be inspired to protect the environment through good environmental stewardship. Sharing adventures in the outdoors creates friendships and memories that will last a lifetime!
