Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington

Our council serves 19,479 girls in 37 counties with the help of over 11,500 volunteers. The Girl Scout mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Every opportunity in Girl Scouting develops these essential skills in an all-girl, inclusive, safe environment. Our success is demonstrated by the fact that Girl Scout alumnae make up 80 percent of female executives and business owners, and two-thirds of women serving in the U.S. Congress. 2012 marks the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in the United States.
