Join Now to Unlock a Year of Fun and Discovery with Girl Scouts
As the school year gets underway, parents all over Metro Atlanta are thinking about activities to enrich their daughters’ lives. One organization is stepping up in a big way. The Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta are kicking off the new year and inviting local families to join in.
Whether your daughter is curious about coding, loves the outdoors, dreams of helping her community, or just wants to make new friends, Girl Scouts offers a place where she can explore, grow and lead in a fun, supportive environment.
She’ll be in good company with well-known Girl Scout alumnae, including astronauts like Sally Ride and Supreme Court justices like Sonia Sotomayor, entertainers like Taylor Swift and Lucy Liu, athletes like Venus Williams and Tatyana McFadden, and entrepreneurs like Meghan Markle.
Why Join Now? A Year Full of Fun and Discovery
The Girl Scout experience is more than cookies and crafts, although those are always part of the fun. Where else can you get robotics, horseback riding, themed camping events, and behind-the-scenes access to local attractions all from a single organization?
Girls who join Girl Scouts discover who they are and what they love to do, all while having fun. Here’s what’s in store this year:
- Hands-on STEM activities that make science and tech exciting
- Outdoor adventures, from troop to family camping
- Community service where girls make a difference locally
- Badge-earning challenges across topics like first aid, financial literacy, and art
“It’s about giving girls a safe space to try, fail, and try again,” said Vena Namukasa, Director of Girl Experience at Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. “They’re so busy having fun and making friends, they don’t notice the confidence they are gaining.”
