Most Popular STEM Badge for Daisy Girl Scouts: Craft and Tinker

In Girl Scouts, girls experience science, technology, engineering, and math through engaging activities that relate to their interests to impact the world.

Our programs give girls training, mentoring, and hands-on experiences to help them understand the value of STEM to society and the options for their own related career paths. Girls see how STEM activities and careers are relevant to them through

engaging activities like building a robot to solve problems in Robotics, programming an avatar in Digital Game Design to help their community, and using shapes and numbers to create natureinspired art in the Math in Nature badges.

Most Popular Outdoors Badge for Cadette Girl Scouts: Archery

For over 100 years, Girl Scouts have explored the outdoors, strengthened their skills, and deepened their commitment to environmental stewardship.

Through activities like horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, archery, hiking, wakeboarding, yoga, and more, they challenge themselves, build confidence, and discover the wonders of nature.

A dedicated STEM track includes projects with women engineers, rocket launches, chemistry experiments, and creative activities like painting and tie-dye.

Through outdoor programming, girls expand their skills, and become lifelong stewards of the natural world.

Girl Scouts develop essential life skills through hands-on experiences in first aid, finance, civic engagement, and critical thinking. Workshops and events like “Whodunnit? Mystery Weekend” challenge girls to problem-solve in creative ways.

Girl Scouts Beyond Bars (GSBB) supports girls with incarcerated parents through mentorship, troop meetings, and structured reunification visits—often a child’s only inperson family contact. Parents participate in workshops to strengthen relationships,

and in 2024, the “Dads & Daughters” pilot expanded to serve girls with either parent incarcerated in Oklahoma.

Staff-Led Troops bring Girl Scouting to Title I schools and community centers, reaching girls in under-resourced areas. By providing mentorship, life skills, and a safe space to grow, these troops help girls build confidence, leadership, and resilience.

All Girl Scouts have access to experiences that build leadership, innovation, and an entrepreneurial mindset. They gain the confidence to take risks, the skills to shape their own future, and the drive to make a difference.

Yet, financial literacy is often overlooked in traditional education. Many parents struggle to discuss money, schools don’t always teach it effectively, and most programs start too late—despite experts saying money habits form as early as age seven.

Girl Scouts bridges this gap with hands-on financial empowerment and entrepreneurship programming for all

ages, from kindergartners to high school seniors. Through events, troop activities, and camp programs, girls develop critical money habits, confidence, and business skills that benefit them for life.

Participating in the cookie program empowers Girl Scouts’ adventures throughout the year as they learn key skills to excel in future careers and in life. Through using different sales methods, Girl Scouts gain people skills, learn to set goals, make smart decisions, and more. Girl Scouts, like all entrepreneurs, are always coming up with new and innovative ways to reach additional customers and market their businesses.

Adult Recognitions

Behind every Girl Scout are family members, teachers, and Girl Scout volunteers, ready with encouragement, belief, and support. Our mission cannot be fulfilled without the time, talents, and efforts invested by our 1,407 volunteers for the benefit of every girl served. In April, GSEOK leadership was thrilled to recognize the service of some of our most dedicated volunteers.
