Why Girl Scouts?

Invest in a Strong Future—for Girls More than ever, girls today are searching for a safe place to belong. They need a place where they can make a contribution—a place where they can participate as meaningful members of society. The Girl Scout Council of Crowley’s Ridge Council provides a healthy alternative for girls who are searching for a place to belong.

Girl Scouting makes a Difference Two-thirds of the women in the United States Congress were Girl Scouts.   9 of 10 STUDIO 2B Members (aged 11-17) in our council view their leaders as people they can admire and learn from.   84% of Junior Girl Scouts in our council feel that Girl Scout activities help them learn about people with backgrounds different from their own.   In a recent national study, nearly two-thirds of women of achievement surveyed were Girl Scouts in their youth, compared to only 41% of American women overall.   A majority of Girl Scouts of all ages feel that Girl Scouting provides more opportunities for leadership, service, and team building than school does.   7 of 10 Girl Scouts in a recent survey said they draw upon the Girl Scout Promise and Law in their daily lives.
