About Us Designed to fulfill the specific needs of girls, Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast (GSWISE) serves over 33,000 girls between the ages of 5 and 17 in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine and Waukesha, as well as the southern part of Ozaukee and eastern parts of Dodge and Jefferson counties.  GSWISE provides a girl-centered quality leadership experience that meets the needs of girls in a fast-changing world and ensures a lifelong connection with Girl Scouting.  Partnered with adult volunteers and community, and infused with the principles of inclusion and diversity, GSWISE is the premier organization for girls.  The unique Girl Scout experience begins with the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.  Through the Girl Scout Program, girls discover, lead and take action, building skills that yield the desired outcomes of courage, confidence and character.  Ultimately, through the Girl Scout experience, girls aspire to make the world a better place.

Current Facts Girl Membership: 33,000 (over 34% are girls of color) That means one in eight eligible girls in our community is a Girl Scout - that's better than the national average of one in nine! Adult Volunteers: 8,700 It's the dedication of these volunteers that allow us to serve so many girls. Staff: 92 full and part-time Having a great staff allows us to provide professional services including program development, camping and adventure tripping, and training and support to our volunteers. Jurisdiction: Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine and Waukesha counties; Mequon/Thiensville in Ozaukee county and the eastern parts of Dodge and Jefferson counties. We strive to offer program opportunities that reflect the diversity of the great community we serve. Properties:  Eight properties are shared among all Girl Scouts within southeastern Wisconsin.  As a result of the realignment of the four former legacy councils, the variety and amount of opportunities for girls and volunteers to choose from has significantly increased.  See our ‘Facilities Guide’ for more details.
