Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Girl Scouts of Connecticut is a powerful force for helping girls develop uncommon leadership skills that serve the common good.

Through our diverse range of fun, horizon-stretching experiences, girls of all ages and backgrounds gain the confidence, character and courage they need to reach their fullest potential.

In this safe and supportive environment, girls can explore new skills, forge lasting friendships, and develop a strong self image—all guided by dynamic, highly trained adult volunteers.

Jennifer Smith Turner is CEO of Girl Scouts of Connecticut, the largest organization in the state serving girls. Girl Scouts of Connecticut is the premier organization for girls in the state - providing over 64,000 girls and adults with opportunities and experiences that develop their potential and empower them with self-confidence and leadership skills to improve their lives and the world around them.

This is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people:

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
