About GSOFCT
We're here to help them shine.
At Girl Scouts of Connecticut, we’re here to help them shine. Behind every Girl Scout and volunteer is a team of local staff ready to help them earn that next badge, embark on a camping adventure, or organize an impactful service project. That’s what a Girl Scout council is: we maintain camp properties, deliver skill-building activities, and provide the resources Girl Scouts need to achieve whatever they can dream up.
Today, we proudly serve more than 16,000 youth members and over 9,000 adult members across Connecticut through 88 volunteer-managed Service Units. And now, we’re taking the next step forward.
As we begin the 2025–2026 Membership Year, GSOFCT is excited to introduce our new Community model; a bold framework designed to strengthen connections and enhance support for volunteers, members, and local Girl Scout communities.
Our council is now organized into five regional Communities—Southwest, Northwest, South Central, Northeast, and Southeast. Each Community features:
- A dedicated Member Experience team supporting Service Units and troops
- A designated Member Experience Specialist as the primary contact for Service Unit Managers, volunteers, and families
With 88 Service Units, 5 Communities, and 1 Council, we’re building stronger networks, streamlining support, and creating even more successful Girl Scout experiences across Connecticut.

LEARN MORELooking Ahead: A New Chapter for Girl Scouts of Connecticut
This fall, Girl Scouts of Connecticut begins a new chapter. We have signed a contract for the sale of our Hartford Service Center to Hartford Healthcare, with plans to vacate by November 30, 2025. During this transition, our Hartford-based staff will be temporarily relocated to our North Haven office.
We know our Hartford headquarters holds a special place in the hearts of many of us. It has been a hub for countless memories, milestones, and moments of impact. While we honor this rich history, we are equally excited about the opportunities ahead. Our team has already identified a promising new location in Hartford County that will allow us to better serve our girls, volunteers, and families for generations to come.
Our official corporate address is now: 20 Washington Avenue, North Haven, CT 06473
The Hartford Retail Store’s last day will be Friday, November 14, 2025. You can continue shopping at any of our other GSOFCT Shop locations in North Haven, Lebanon, Wilton or online.
As part of this transition, we will host a special gathering to commemorate the legacy of the Hartford Service Center and celebrate the bright future of Girl Scouts of Connecticut. Please stay tuned for details and updates, which will be shared on this page.
