Another busy summer is winding down, and soon our kids will be back in the swing of school and fall activities. There are endless opportunities for kids to get involved outside of school hours- sports, music lessons, art classes and more. It can be overwhelming to choose extracurriculars for our kids that foster social and emotional growth, creativity, and teaches skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Did you know that Girl Scouts of San Jacinto offers all this and more?
The Unique Value of Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts isn’t just one thing. When your daughter joins a troop, she is joining a community that offers girl-led experiences (SO important for our girls), year-round adventures, an inclusive, safe community, proven leadership development, and one-of-a-kind traditions and fun.
Some of the many activities and traditions your girl may experience if she joins Girl Scouts include:
Earning badges in STEM
Girl Scouts lets your girl see that STEM can help her make the world a better place! When girls participate in focused STEM programs, they are more interested in STEM and careers in tech—including app development, robotics, coding, and cybersecurity.
Life Skills
Girl Scout badges covering topics like civic engagement, healthy living, and communication skills help Girl Scouts grow in confidence as they develop the skills to lead their best life!
Outdoor Adventures
As a Girl Scout, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to create her own outdoor adventures and develop a lifelong appreciation for nature and the out-of-doors—whether with her troop, at camp, or with friends and family.
Entrepreneurship
While entrepreneurship may not be right for every girl, every Girl Scout will benefit, and maybe even discover a future career path, by learning to think like an entrepreneur. As an important part of learning vital business skills, girls will discover how to set and achieve realistic goals in their lives and future careers, make better decisions and build stronger interpersonal skills, and develop a valuable work ethic and a sense of empathy for others
(and she’ll be the hero of the neighborhood when she’s out selling those cookies!)
Mom Can Get Involved Too!
Girl Scouts isn’t just for girls- it’s for moms and caregivers too! More than anything, girls need the support and presence of their mom or caregiver as they navigate the world. Girl Scouts of San Jacinto is the perfect opportunity for you and your daughter to bond through learning, creativity and fun.
Whether you lead a troop, drive to activities, or cheer from the sidelines, Girl Scouts gives you a front-row seat to her growth.
Join a Troop
Big adventures, amazing memories, pure joy—it all begins with your Girl Scout troop. A troop is that special group of Girl Scouts you’ll meet up with to have new experiences and create lifelong bonds. Finding yours is just the beginning of a wonderful journey. Your troop is a safe space to find your voice, grow your confidence, and explore new passions, all while being your true, authentic self.
