Text Box: Welcome to Girl Scouts Goldenrod Council

Girl Scouting is a unique girl-only place where a girl finds:

	Courage by exploring new adventures
	Confidence by discovering her abilities
	Character by shaping her values
	Connections by friendships with other girls

And, where a girl returns those gifts by making the world a better place.

The Girl Scouts Goldenrod Council is proud to be a part of the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls - ALL GIRLS - where in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world.  In partnership with caring, committed adults, Girl Scouts develop the strength, confidence, motivation, leadership and skills to develop to their full potential and make a difference in the world.

In Girl Scouts, girls enjoy the fun, friendship, and power of girls together!
