Can't wait to make new friends?

Join Girl Scouts, and you won’t have to. At Girl Scouts, you can learn a new outdoor skill, create an artistic masterpiece, try a science experiment, help the community and make new friends. Girl Scouts is the preeminent leadership organization dedicated solely to girls, allowing them to take the lead in an inclusive and nurturing all-girl environment.

“Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts serves more than 40,000 girls in grades K-12 and engages 17,000 adult volunteers in 178 communities in eastern Massachusetts,” explained Ruth N. Bramson, Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts. “Our core values stand the test of time.  Honesty, respect, a sense of fairness, concern for others and for the world around us,” said Bramson.

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience builds girls of courage, confidence and character. Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, girls develop courage to take an active role in their communities and speak out when they care about issues. They gain the confidence to make a difference and the character to act with integrity and compassion. Participation in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience helps ensure that girls will have the tools they need to be the leaders of the future.
