At this difficult time, we turn our thoughts to our sister Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes who are mourning the tragic news of a hit and run crash that killed three girls and one adult volunteer. The girls and volunteers were all living our mission, making their community a better place while following proper safety protocols, including being dressed in bright vests with proper adult supervision as they cleaned up a stretch of highway they had adopted. The driver has since turned himself in and is in police custody.

Update: the Wisconsin Girl Scout Alliance inivites Girl Scouts across the state to perform service projects in their community to honor our Girl Scout sisters.

Whether she is a go-getter, innovator, risk-taker, or leader, we’ve got an event that will unleash her inner G.I.R.L. We encourage her to try something new but be sure to sign her up for old favorites, too! Interested in science? New to the outdoors? We have programs just for her! Did she love archery last year? Or climbing the rock wall? Chances are she’ll love it again. Check out our Connections Events Guide, and start planning those Girl Scout adventures! Registration opens on October 1.

We need your help as a champion of Girl Scouts! We know that Boy Scouts is aggressively recruiting girls and women in southeastern Wisconsin.  They are trying to cause confusion around our brand and the continued need for Girl Scouts, now that they are recruiting girls. We will not stand by and tolerate misinformation or other efforts that threaten our ability to deliver our mission. We ask for your active support as a member and ambassador for Girl Scouts.
