While some people still think of us as just cookies, badges, campfires, and friendship bracelets, Girl Scouts are so much more.
Girl Scouts are groundbreakers, big thinkers, and role models.
Girl Scouts design robots, start garage bands, and improve their communities—and yes, they sell the best cookies on the planet.
When she's a Girl Scout, she’s also a G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™.
Go-getter
She’s bold, honest, and determined to succeed. Goal oriented and ambitious, she’s also a life-long learner who believes no challenge is too difficult!
Innovator
Thinking outside the box is her specialty, so she’s always looking for a creative way to take action. She definitely knows how to get things done.
Risk-taker
Courageous and strong, she’s keen to try new things and to embrace the unfamiliar. She’s ready to step up and break the mold if that’s what it takes.
Leader
She’s confident, responsible, and committed to changing the world for the better—and she’s happiest when others join her in taking the lead!
These are the traits that define girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. This is the Girl Scout DNA.
It could be part of your DNA too—whatever your age, gender, or background! The only question is, are you ready to take the lead...like a Girl Scout?

Raise your voice and sing along to the new Girl Scout anthem!
Our powerful new anthem, “Watch Me Shine,” explores how Girl Scouts find the strength and confidence to lead the way, every day—and create meaningful change in themselves and in their communities. Written by Grammy Award-winner Liz Rose and performer Emily Shackelton (both Girl Scouts themselves!), the tune also features Girl Scouts on backup vocals.
