Pathways in Girl Scouts
The Girl Scouts recognize that everyone’s daily obligations are expanding and juggling far too many tasks has become a daily part of our lives. Many girls are not able to participate in the traditional Girl Scout troop experience. That is why the Girl Scouts have created various avenues for girls to partake in the Girl Scout experience.
These avenues, called Pathways, give every girl and every family a chance to choose the Girl Scout Experience that best fits their lifestyle. Pathways choices include:
- Register individually and get regular updates by mail on council-wide events and opportunities.
- Sign up for Girl Scout Camp. Many Girl Scout councils offer day and resident camping opportunities for girls.
- Join a short-term interest group. Many Girl Scout councils offer four-week to six-month long sessions focusing on careers, engineering, sports, theater, and money management, just to name a few!
- Join a troop/group with a group of girls and a couple of adults in your area.
- Attend a drop-in site at a community or housing center. Many councils partner with community groups and other organizations to provide Girl Scouting to girls on an as-needed basis.
