Ways to Participate in Girl Scouting

Being a Girl Scout means being authentically you. Choose your own adventure and get started today! 
 

Join a Girl Scout Troop

Join an existing troop or work with others to start your own. Troop participation brings together like-minded youth in your area to take the journey of Girl Scouts together. Make new friends, keep the old, and adventure together!

Join as an Individually Registered Member (IRM)

Prefer to chart your own course? Participating as an individually registered member provides all of the benefits of Girl Scout membership at your own pace. IRMs have the same access to events, programs, cookies, and camp, all on your own terms.  

Go to Girl Scout Camp

Girl Scout Camps are open to all members during the summer months. Join as an IRM to have access to camp registration and be a part of the camp community!

However you choose to join, Girl Scouting offers all sorts of incredible programs! Explore your many options.
