We are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts discover who they are, tap into the power inside them, and build the confidence to let it shine.
Through programs from coast to coast and overseas, girls of all backgrounds and abilities come as they are and create their own paths. Each step becomes a part of the journey, and along the way, they explore their passions, develop hands-on skills, and discover the tools they need to lead with joy, on their own terms.
Challenges don’t stop Girl Scouts. They discover their strengths in science labs and on hiking trails, at cookie booths and in front of city councils. Backed by volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, they are part of a lifelong sisterhood of powerful change-makers who are always on their side.
Girl Scouts. Because the world deserves to see their full potential—and they deserve to experience it.
Our Vision
To be viewed and valued as the go-to partner for developing and elevating girl and women leaders in San Diego and Imperial counties. Beyond traditional leadership development, our relevant programs and experiences foster a sense of well-being in girls, so they are well-rounded individuals poised for success in life.
Our Values
To realize our mission and vision, we must be an organization that models the Girl Scout Promise and Law and is committed to upholding these values:
- We create and foster a culture of trust
- We create inclusion and belonging
- We model leadership in every role
- We intentionally learn and grow to design our futures
- We cultivate an evolutionary mindset for greater impact
Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
And we've been doing it for more than 100 years.
