Girls entering kindergarten through twelfth grade in the fall are invited to join Girl Scouts by participating in an early-registration program with Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania. Take advantage of this limited-time promotion for new members and get up to 18 months of membership starting immediately, through September 30, 2026. That's 18 months of membership for $63. These members can join existing troops or start a new troop.
Get Ready for School with Girl Scouts
Girls entering kindergarten and first grade in the fall of 2025 can register now as a Girl Scout Daisy and receive three fun, skill-building activity books filled with games, crafts, and stories that help prepare them for school. Becoming a Girl Scout Daisy allows girls to make new friends from their community and partake in age-appropriate, engaging activities designed to help them gain important social skills and discover the world around them.
The Girl Scout Experience: Growth, Leadership, and Confidence
With the help of supportive adults and troop leaders, Girl Scouts experience hands-on activities in subjects ranging from STEM and the outdoors to life skills and entrepreneurship, making Girl Scouts natural leaders in the classroom, at home, and in their communities. Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania is proud to highlight the impact of these experiences, showcasing how Girl Scouts develop confidence, leadership, and real-world skills that prepare them for the future. Recent examples include:
“Girl Scouts is more than just an activity—it’s a transformative experience that fosters leadership, resilience, and a sense of belonging,” said Patricia A. Burkart, CEO of Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania. “Through programs in STEM, outdoor adventures, entrepreneurship, and life skills, girls develop confidence and a willingness to take on new challenges. We see every day how Girl Scouts grow into strong, capable leaders, and we invite all girls to be part of this journey.”
