Organization Profile

Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington

https://www.girlscoutsosw.org/

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington serves members throughout Oregon, and Clark and Skamania Counties in Washington. Forty service units provide support to girls and adults in their geographic area. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience--the framework for defining what girls do in Girl Scouting--engages girls in three key activities: discovering who they are and what they value, connecting with others, and taking action to make the world a better place. To ensure a high-quality and fun experience, Girl Scout activities use three processes: girl-led, learning-by-doing, and cooperative-learning. 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. You can make a difference in the lives of girls! As a volunteer driven organization Girl Scouts will work with you to match your skills, interests and availability. We have a wide variety of direct service and behind the scenes volunteer opportunites ranging from one-day activities to troop leadership. Girl Scouts values diversity and inclusiveness and does not discriminate on any basis.
