The Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts (GSCWM) is a youth organization dedicated to building courage, confidence, and character in girls from kindergarten through 12th grade. It serves over 15,000 girls across 186 communities in the region.
What Girls Scouts Do
Girl Scouts participate in a variety of activities and programs focused on developing leadership skills, exploring the outdoors, engaging in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), learning financial literacy, and pursuing entrepreneurship opportunities. One of their most well-known initiatives is the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which teaches girls essential business and financial skills.
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience encourages girls to realize their potential, gain critical life skills, form healthy relationships, and identify and solve problems in their communities through engaging, challenging, and fun activities.
