In Girl Scouts, girls will explore Arts areas such as dance, music, culinary, visual arts, gardening, and more! These opportunities increase girl's knowledge, skills, and abilities and will provide Girl Scouts who fuel the pipeline for future workers in the arts, entertainment, and hospitality fields.
Arts experiences expose girls to new perspective and provide opportunities to engage in the creative process. Girls need the connectivity and sisterhood that Girl Scouting provides for self-expression, discovery, community and inclusion – now more than ever. Arts helps to fuel a girl’s ambition, boost confidence and build courage.
And yes, for each Arts area Girl Scouts decide to explore: Theatre, Music, Sculpting, Culinary, and more...there's probably a badge for that!
Sign-up your Girl Scout for a new experience. From Author-led workshops to hand’s on Zucchini muffin making, we’ve got something for all Girl Scout levels!
In honor of National Poetry Month in April, GSOC invited our Girl Scouts to submit an original poem to be included in our 3rd Annual Poetry Webzine! Each Girl Scout was permitted to submit one original poem which could also be illustrated. This poetry anthology is the result of all submissions meeting the guidelines.
See Poetry Submission Guidelines for details.
One original entry per Girl Scout. Parent permission required.
