You're Invited to Join the World of Girl Scouts  

We can’t wait to meet you and share how Girl Scouts can brighten your girl’s world. Join us for an exciting, free, virtual event and get a taste of all the fun she’ll have as a member.

Whether your girl is looking to try an activity, meet friends, or you have questions for signing her up, there's something for everyone! 

Listed below are some fun, free events and programs for families new to Girl Scouts, or who have not yet joined but want to learn more.

Our suggestion would be that you and your girl check out an Animal Dance Party or Robot Building Party first, so that you both get to experience Girl Scouts initially. If your girl is older, we suggest beginning with the Introduction to Girl Scouts virtual presentation, which is also now included in the parties (while your girl works independently on her project). If you and your girl want to try out the troop experience before joining (or while you’re waiting to get connected to a troop), then we recommend attending the Club House Series. To join and become a Girl Scout member click the join button and get started today!

Make New Friends – FREE, Grades K-1 – includes patch

Make New Friends is a fun, four-part online series designed to boost your girl's social skills and self-confidence while she learns to focus and thrive in a group virtual setting. This series allows her to connect with the same friends each week, as well as Girl Scouts staff and volunteers who lead her through activities focused on language & literacy, cognition, and social and emotional learning. It’s a great chance to experience what it’s like to be in a troop before officially joining a troop too! Once registered, you’ll receive a link for the Zoom meetings and additional details regarding supplies for each session (supplies will be simple household items).

Animal Dance Party!
We’re so glad you’re coming to an Animal Dance Party!

For this party your girl will need a blank piece paper and something to write with; crayons, markers and/or pencils.

Girls, Want to get the fun started today? Try this!

Imagine you’re a grasshopper or a ladybug. How do bugs like those see the world? Do little rocks seem big? Do blades of grass seem super tall? Now put on some music. How do you move or dance differently now that you’re a bug? 

Now pretend you’re a bird that can fly high above the earth, a giant elephant with a swinging trunk, or even a household pet. How did your dancing change?

We’ll learn about lots of animals and find fun new ways to dance together at the party!

Robot Building Party – FREE, Grades K-6 – includes patch
Robot Building Party!
We’re so glad you’re coming to a Robot Building Party!

After the party ends girls are encouraged to work independently on designing/building their own robot on paper or out of household items. During this time grown-ups are invited to join us for a quick overview of Girl Scouts and everything we have to offer!

The events are free and held over Zoom – pick a date that works for you and RSVP to get the meeting login information. Although designed for new members, current Girl Scouts are welcome to attend and encouraged to invite a new to Girl Scouts friend!

For this party you will need a blank piece paper and something to write with; crayons, markers and/or pencils; Supplies to build robots – whatever you have available: shoeboxes, toilet paper rolls, pipe cleaners, construction paper, scissors, glue, tape, markers, crayons, yarn, googly eyes, stickers, pom-poms, etc.

Girls, Want to get the fun started today? Try this!

Imagine you could build any kind of robot you wanted. Would it be a robot that could make your life more fun, easier or both? What would it do and how would it work? It’s up to you! 

Now, use crayons, colored pencils, or markers to draw a diagram of your robot. A diagram is just a fancy word for a picture with labels telling you about the different parts of something. 

At the party, we’ll learn a lot about robots—and build one too! Can’t wait to see you!

Girl Scouts is a way of life that brings out the best in your girl, even in the most challenging of times. While she’s learning about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); the outdoors; entrepreneurship; and important life skills, she’s also discovering new ways to make your family and community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone. Plus? Girl Scouts is FUN!
