Girl Scouts
-
We are girls in grades K through 12th who attend St. Augustine Catholic Church and are of every race and socioeconomic background. We are also adult volunteers-men and woman of all ages, single or married, with or without children who are committed to help build character and bond with young girls and teens.
Girl scouts participate in many community service activities and other activities that are initiated by the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital. These activities give girls opportunities to make friends, discover new adventures, and learn new skills. The focus of activities is on leadership development for girls.
Adult volunteers are needed to lend their talents and help guide the girls in arts and crafts and other skill areas by serving as troop leaders, trainers, and in other leadership roles. Volunteer training is free and provided by the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital.
All girls and adults accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law. -
