Corporate Partnerships
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world.
Through our research-backed programs (focusing on STEM, Life Skills, Outdoors, and Entrepreneurship) Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges. Backed by trusted adults, 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.
