OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is girl-driven, reflecting the ever-changing needs and interests of participating girls. It provides girls in grades K-12 with a wide variety of leadership opportunities available through programs/events, books, awards, Go Girls Only, STUDIO 2B, Girls Go Tech and other GSUSA websites, as well as other resources.

The Girl Scout program encourages increased skill-building and responsibility, and also promotes the development of strong leadership and decision-making skills. All program activities are grade-appropriate and based on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, as well as on the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

GSNWGL's Program Opportunities for Girls
We are thrilled to offer girls throughout north central Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula hundreds of program opportunities year-round! Following is a sample of opportunities for girls:

  • Council-Wide Programs: Council-Wide Programs are held three times per year - one each in the fall, winter and spring - in several locations throughout the GSNWGL jusrisdiction.
  • Council-Sponsored Programs: Council-Sponsored Programs are held periodically during the year at varying locations.
  • Portable Programs: Portable Programs are kits that include just about all of the supplies needed for fun and informative programming for all grade levels.
  • Collaborative Programs: We're proud to partner with many area organizations to offer amazing program opportunities for girls of all ages. Some opportunities are suitable for the whole family!
  • Product Programs: GSNWGL hosts two Council-sponsored Product Programs per year. Through Girl Scout Product Programs, girls practice life skills such as goal setting, money management, decision making, and the satisfaction of a job well done - all while having fun!
  • Camp Programs: Girl Scout camp combines the fun of summer camp with the leadership development of Girl Scouts. GSNWGL offers day, resident, weekend, troop and family camp opportunities.
  • Patch Programs: GSNWGL offers patch programs in a wide variety of topics that offer unique learning experiences for every grade level.
  • Service Projects: Service projects offer Girl Scouts a unique opportunity to help address needs in their community. Community service is an important aspect of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
  • Special Teen Programs: Girl Scouts offers teen girls the opportunity for more adventure, excitement, and independence than younger Girl Scouts. Teen Girl Scouts can take advantage of special leadership opportunities, national and international travel, and awards.
  • Service Area Events: GSNWGL's Service Areas offer events for Girl Scouts right in their communities. Contact us to find available Service Area events near you.
  • Troop/Group Programs: Troops and groups provide ongoing programming for Girl Scouts, which may include earning awards and badges, and taking trips. Contact us to find a troop near you.
