Become a Best Friend

Every Girl Scout Deserves a Friend Who Shows Up

A best friend is someone you can count on.

Someone who believes in you.
Someone who encourages you.
Someone who shows up when it matters most.

When you become a Best Friend, you're doing exactly that for Girl Scouts across Connecticut.

Your monthly gift provides steady, reliable support that helps girls discover their strengths, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and create lasting friendships. Most importantly, it ensures that Girl Scouts can continue to access life-changing experiences regardless of their family's financial circumstances.

Because when girls know they have people who believe in them, there's no limit to what they can achieve.

Why Monthly Giving Matters

Monthly giving is one of the most powerful ways to support Girl Scouts.

Unlike one-time gifts, monthly donations provide consistent funding that allows us to plan ahead, expand opportunities, and respond to the needs of girls and troops throughout the year.

Your support helps ensure that girls can:

  • Attend camp and outdoor adventures

  • Participate in leadership programs

  • Explore STEM opportunities

  • Earn badges and awards

  • Build lifelong friendships

  • Develop the courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place

Every month, your gift creates opportunities for girls to discover who they are and who they can become.
