Mission Statement

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio serves nearly 42,000 girls in 32 counties throughout western Ohio and southeastern Indiana, with the support of nearly 12,000 adult volunteers. The mission of Girl Scouting is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

About This Cause

Girl Scouts is the world’s preeminent leadership development organization dedicated solely to girls – all girls – ages 5-17. Girl Scouts provides, as it always has, the best opportunities for girls to get the experiences and tools they need to be successful leaders now and throughout their lives. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience engages girls in discovering themselves, connecting with others, and taking action to make the world a better place. These discoveries happen through the Girl Scout program, which is intentionally designed to be girl-led (by the girls, for the girls), experiential (learning by doing), cooperative (working in small groups and teams), and tied to one or more of our four Council Goals: 1. Girls will understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills to explore the world.. 2. Girls will care about, inspire and team with others locally and globally. 3. Girls will act to make the world a better place. With their Girl Scout leaders, girls team with one another to implement their own troop activities, based on their interests. In addition to helping girls take ownership of their experience, Girl Scout leaders ensure all activities are grade-appropriate and based on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, as well as on the Girl Scout Promise and Law. They encourage each girl to express her feelings and ideas in this all-girl, girl-led environment and to build leadership skills through the girl/adult planning approach.
