About us

Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital believes in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. We offer every girl the opportunity to discover who she is, what she can do, and connect her with a powerful community of girls and mentors to make it happen. With unique programs Girl Scouts explore, learn, succeed and take action to make a difference in their community. With support from dedicated adult volunteers, parents and staff, we deliver the best Girl Scout experience to 86,810 members: 59,425 girls and 27,385 adults in the Greater Washington Region. Girl Scouts opens a world of opportunities for girls to learn new skills, discover the world, explore science, volunteer, go camping and more. As the largest girl-serving organization, our main focus is on leadership development for girls. Girl Scouting has helped girls develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed. From our earliest badges in electricity, aeronautics, and natural sciences to today’s cookie entrepreneurs and MAKERS, girls challenge themselves, work with inspiring role models, and develop lifelong friendships. We’re preparing the next generation of girls for their futures, ensuring doors are open to them, and that they possess the confidence to walk through those doors.

    "Being a Girl Scout makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself." Ten years ago, Confidence began her Girl Scout journey as a Brownie, not knowing how much it would shape her life. Over the years, through countless adventures, new challenges, and friendships, she discovered her own voice and grew into the confident leader she is today. With support from her troop, Confidence learned the true meaning of courage, confidence, and character. Now, she shares her inspiring journey, reflecting on how Girl Scouts has empowered her to embrace her strengths and shine her light in the world. Read more about Confidence: https://lnkd.in/d_B-XGfs
