Girls entering kindergarten through twelfth grade and adults are invited to join Girl Scouts and kick off the fall with an exciting new journey and discover fun and friendship at every turn! These members can join existing troops or start a new troop.
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.
As official members, those who join Girl Scouts will also be able to make the most of exclusive Girl Scout events and programming throughout the year.
From regional daytime trips to international trips, Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania has travel opportunities for girls who love to explore different places and cultures. Travel Troop 52619, for example, set foot in Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands this summer, embarking on adventures such as snorkeling, hiking 13,500 feet high in the Andes Mountains, exploring a lava tunnel, and learning about the history and churches of Ecuador.
The troop didn’t just make memories on their adventure—they also made lifelong friendships, including a troop from Georgia that joined them during their journey.
“This trip to the Galápagos Islands and Ecuador is an experience I will never forget. The things I saw and what I got to do were absolutely incredible,” said Senior Girl Scout, Isabela Márquez.
Girl Scouts provides girls new and exciting opportunities where they’re able to explore the world and discover new interests. To learn more about Girl Scouts, we encourage girls and their caregivers to attend one of our free sign-up events. Please visit our events map to find a sign-up event near you. Staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions about local troops.
For more information about these events, volunteering with Girl Scouts, or signing up your girl, please contact Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania at 800-248-3355 or customercare@gswpa.org. Additional information can be found at gswpa.org/join.
