Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. As they discover their strengths and rise to new challenges, Girl Scouts develop the confidence to consistently step forward, defy norms, and turn ideas into action. Backed by trusted volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio serves more than 28,000 girls and nearly 11,000 adult volunteers throughout western Ohio and southeastern Indiana. Explore this blog for resources to help you guide your Girl Scouts on the path to success, or check out our website for more information.
