Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors will experience the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia as they travel to the Birthplace of Girl Scouting.

Whatever they try, your girls will have fun, while engaging in girl-led, collaborative and hands-on experiences.

Invest in Girls, Change the World Last year, more than 28,000 girls from Bergen, Morris, Passaic, Sussex and North Warren Counties discovered their strengths, connected with others, and took action to make our world a better place. They explored interests from STEM to outdoor adventures to financial literacy and life skills, devoting nearly 50,000 hours of service to our communities and managing the business of selling a million boxes of cookies.

When you give to Girl Scouts, you are giving to more than 28,000 local girls. Here are some highlights of what your generous gift provides:

Girl Scout Troops Staff-Led Community Programs STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) Camping and outdoor adventures Scholarships & financial assistance Life skills that help girls get ahead Leader recruitment and development opportunities for more than 15,000 adult members.

Our membership fees and cookie sales help us serve thousands, but we are still left with a gap of $40 per girl each year to raise. Please show your support and generosity of the Annual Family Campaign and help us serve today’s girls while we recruit, train, background check, and retain the best volunteers. For every dollar received, we’ll invest 87 cents back into the innovative program activities, recruiting and retaining volunteers, maintaining service centers and camp properties, and implementing safety measures for more than 28,000 girls.
