When you support Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, your generosity brings Academic Edge to life — right inside classrooms and community spaces. This innovative, free in-school and after-school Girl Scout program delivers hands-on learning and leadership development for girls in kindergarten through sixth grade.
Academic Edge removes barriers like transportation and cost, ensuring every girl has access to the Girl Scout experience, no matter where she lives.
Each Academic Edge session sparks curiosity and creativity through STEM, outdoor exploration, entrepreneurship, and essential life skills.
Because of supporters like you:
In one classroom, your generosity helped a troop of girls design and build rollercoasters during a STEM lesson. For one student, it was more than a project — it was the moment she saw her future self as an engineer.
Your gift helps girls feel seen, heard, and valued, showing them their ideas matter and they belong in every space where leadership and innovation happen. As demand grows, your support ensures even more girls can benefit from meaningful programs, supplies, and caring coordinators.
