Girl Scout Commonwealth Council Of Virginia Inc

Membership is directed to the recruitment, training, support, and retention of girl members and adult volunteers who deliver the girl scout leadership program to girls in grades k-12. The girl scout leadership experience engages girls in discovering self, connecting with others, and taking action to make the world a better place. Girl scouts helps girls develop their full individual potential, relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect, develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision making, and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others. The long-term outcome is a generation of girls who lead with courage, confidence and character. Program service accomplishments: efforts to recruit girls from underserved or under-resourced communities are primarily staff-led until community volunteers can be recruited and trained. In fiscal year 2024, girl scouts of the commonwealth of virginia (gscv) served 7,270 girls and 4,074 adults for a total membership of 11,344. On a self reported basis, girls of color comprise 36% of the organization's total girl membership.
