Girl Scouts of Wisconsin - Badgerland, Inc.
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Description:
Badgerland Council serves over 14,500 girls ages 5 - 17 years and more than 4500 adults from all socio-economic, ethnic, religious, rural and city populations. The Girl Scout program is a continuous adventure in learning that offers every girl a broad range of activities which addresses both her current interests and her future role as a woman. Through activities that stimulate self-discovery, girls are introduced to the excitement in the worlds of science, the arts, the out-of-doors, and people. Girls grow in skill and in self-confidence. They have fun, they make new friends, and through meaningful community service they acquire understanding about themselves and others.
