Oklahoma City, OK, 73118
405-528-GIRL (4475)In Girl Scouts girls gain the confidence they need to succeed, make lifelong friendships and have fun while they learn. Perhaps most importantly, they discover the power of girls working together. Wyjuana and I talk about how Girls Scouting impacted my life and how it has changed to stay current. The organization is flexible for the professional woman to volunteer and get involved. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together, and you can be a part of it! There are many ways to become involved with Girl Scouts - both through girl memberships and adult memberships. Through the pathway program girls have the opportunity to learn new sports, sample the arts, explore career opportunities through the STEM (Science, Technology, Math and Engineering) program or better understand the world around them through camping? In Girl Scouts, the possibilities are endless for girls and adults.
