We Are Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs throughout north and west Texas and the Oklahoma panhandle, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends.

Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.

Girl Scout Mission

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try: To serve God* and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

*Members may substitute for the word God in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.

A Message from our Leadership What a year it has been!

In September 2020, some of you were still working from home, participating in online school, and hoping for a change. Some of you were back in the office, back at school in person, and ready for the new normal.

At Girl Scouts, we were happy to be moving toward our new normal: Troops gathering in person, activities happening online and in-person, camps reopening for weekend activities, and plans for the 2021 Cookie Program in full swing.

Throughout our 2020-2021 year, we continued to pivot as situations changed across our Council and our world.

The constant in everything was the Girl Scout mission: building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Thank you for your support of Girl Scouts. Thank you for believing in our Mission. Thank you for believing in the power of girls.

In Girl Scouting,

What Girls are Saying about Girl Scouts

Do fun activities with other Daisies.

To make new friends and earn new patches.

You get to go on trips.

So we can have fun together.

They open up doors of opportunity.

You get an experience of working on a service project all on your own for the Gold Award.
