Give the Gift of Girl Scouting!
At GSHCC, we give girls the freedom and space to explore, collaborate, voice their opinions, and make new friends. It’s a space that girls are not always afforded in their everyday lives. And every girl, no matter her financial means, should be able to participate in experiences outside of what is regularly accessible at school or at home. Make a gift to our Financial Assistance Fund to ensure that ALL girls have the opportunity to develop a sense of self and find their voice.
