 Girl Scout Registration

 Explore the fun, power and friendship of Girl Scouting. With friends, jump in and learn how to create new experiences. Dream, achieve and experience the magic of Girl Scouts. It's all about being you!

 Most girls join a local group for fun and friendship, but they also find out about building character and self-esteem and serving their communities - the core qualities of Girl Scouting. In Girl Scouts, girls find a safe place to grow and share new experiences, learn to relate to others, develop values, and contribute to
society.

 While girls may register any time of the year, many registration events are scheduled for September. Girls everywhere, ages 5 to 17, can be part of the fun and excitement 

 And, girls don't have to join a group to reap the benefits Girl Scouting has to offer. Girls may be "Juliettes," or registered individually and do activities and earn recognitions on  their own, with friends or family. They may attend Girl Scout events in their communities, across country, or across the world. "Juliettes" are named after Girl Scouting's founder, Juliette Gordon Low. Registration is $10. Financial aid is available.

 Girl Scouting helps cultivate values, social conscience and self-esteem in young girls, while teaching them critical life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. Girl Scouts - Seven Lakes Council, Inc. serves 10,000 girls in 13 counties. 

 If you can't  attend one of the events below, call the number listed or one of the council offices at (315) 539-5085 or
