Throughout our history, we've never
stopped evolving. That's how we continue to
meet the needs of girls today.
Explore our past
With our 100th anniversary here, now
is an exciting time to volunteer with
Girl Scouts of Connecticut.
Get Involved!
Since 1912, Girl Scouts has helped Connecticut's girls build courage, confidence and character. While we have always remained true to Juliette Gordon Low's vision, we are constantly evolving. That's why we say we're 100 years young! Join us, and see how Girl Scouts discover themselves as they explore their world, connect with others and take action through activities and programs that are relevant and exciting to girls today.

WHAT GIRLS SAY ABOUT STEM
The Girl Scout Research Institute has released a report called Generation STEM: What Girls Say about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. According to the study, though a majority of today's girls have a clear interest in STEM, they don't prioritize STEM fields when thinking about their future careers. To read the full report, click here.
