DIVERSITY INITIATIVE
Our focus is inclusion. We bring the Girl Scout experience to underserved communities in our council area.
In Your Community
Girl Scouts is focused on inclusion, bringing opportunities to all girls and making it easy for them to participate. Girl Scouting looks and feels like real life, building courage, confidence and character in girls who can live and work in harmony.

The program focuses on 4 modules, Financial Literacy (Finance and Banking), Health and Fitness (Fit and Beautiful), Leadership (Faraohs and Beacons), and the STEM disciplines (Fractions, Fixtures and Bytes, Beakers).
