Mission Statement: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Who We Are: Through Girl Scouts of Maine, girls gain the skills to navigate life with purpose and joy – while building strong connections and a true sense of belonging. From climbing mountains to launching rockets, from creative arts to giving back, every experience is shaped around a girl’s grade level and her interests. And when a girl joins, her family joins too, becoming part of a community that supports them all.

What We Do: Every girl already has strength within her. Girl Scouts creates the experiences that help her discover it – building confidence, courage, and purpose as she grows into who she is meant to become.

Why It Matters Now: Families want more than activities. They want places where girls build identity, belonging, and emotional well-being. Girl Scouts meets girls where they are and supports who they are becoming – and Maine gains a generation ready to lead in its classrooms, communities, and workplaces.

What Makes Us Different: We don’t ask girls to fit a mold. We honor individuality, celebrate effort, and provide the space, support, and sisterhood that help each girl lead in her own authentic way.

Your Support at Work: With your help, more Maine girls can join, attend camp, and find a troop close to home. With caring volunteers, trusted mentors, and a supportive environment, Girl Scouts are ready to climb higher, speak louder, and shine brighter.
