About us
We Are Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, 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. To join us, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, visit www.girlscouts.org.

You could say we had a BALL with Major League Baseball (MLB) this week! 🥎⚾️ We can’t wait to see all the Girl Scout troops stepping up to the plate this weekend for PLAY BALL Weekend.
It was so much fun participating with our Girl Scouts in the kickoff event for Major League Baseball’s PLAY BALL Weekend in Times Square! We had the pleasure of meeting softball and baseball greats like former pro softball player A.J. Andrews, current softball pitcher for Stanford University and 2024 USA softball collegiate player of the year NiJaree Canady , Women’s College World Series champion Lauren (Chamberlain) Gipson, Team USA Olympic gold medalist Natasha Watley OLY, and shortstop for the New York Mets Francisco Lindor. Girl Scouting is all about giving girls opportunities to try new things, and our national partnership with MLB is doing just that. We’re excited to collaborate with MLB on our shared goals of promoting physical activity, fun with friends, and, specifically with PLAY BALL, learning how to play the sport at its most basic levels. Girl Scouts across the nation are participating in PLAY BALL events this weekend. Big thanks to Major League Baseball (MLB)! https://lnkd.in/gHBBykac
Lindor's enthusiasm a perfect match for PLAY BALL Weekend
