Join in the Fun Now by Registering as a Girl Scout or Volunteer at GSSNE!
WARWICK, RI (September 8, 2022)— As summer draws to a close and parents and caregivers are sending their kids back to school, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England is preparing for a new troop year—and we’re inviting families to join the fun and register for Girl Scouts!
Families want a brighter, happier tomorrow for their girl—and that’s exactly what we want too. Studies show that being a Girl Scout improves girls’ confidence and makes them better prepared to weather life’s challenges. Girl Scouts provides a supportive space for girls to take chances, try new things, and learn to succeed through failure—all within a safe, supportive, girl-led environment.
Through Girl Scouts, they can also find their people, discover their joy, know their power, build their community, and live their best lives.
Being a Girl Scout isn’t just something to do.
It’s a way to discover the magic of being your full, amazing, unfiltered self. Whether singing camp songs, planting a vegetable garden, or building a mini rollercoaster—everything in Girl Scouts teaches girls how to use their unique strengths and interests to make friends, spread joy, and even change the world in their own special way.
Above all else, they’re having a blast—because they know bringing the fun is all about being their true selves, trying new things, and cheering each other on.
At Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England, we offer programming and activities in areas such as STEAM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, life skills, and more.
With their troops, Girl Scouts can earn badges that focus on things like camping, hiking, cybersecurity, mental health, democracy, first aid, budgeting, space science, animals, drawing, jewelry, community service, and trees—just to name a few!
And at the core of Girl Scouts is the Girl Scout Promise and Law, which emphasizes being honest and fair, friendly, and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what they say and do.
Most of all, they commit to being a sister to every Girl Scout. This truly is a circle of friendship like no other!
One of every two adult women is a Girl Scout alum. Girl Scout alums display positive life outcomes to a greater degree than non-alums on several indicators of success, including sense of self, volunteerism, community work, civic engagement, education, and income/socioeconomic status.
Alums, parents, caregivers, and volunteers are vital to success. Whether taking the role of a troop leader, sharing skills as a one-time volunteer, or even making a program available to Girl Scouts in the community, there are flexible options for adults to make a difference in the lives of our Girl Scouts!
We want everyone to be so excited about the adventures they will have with us that they can hardly wait for it, because they know they can do anything they set their mind to. That feeling starts with parents and caregivers who encourage their children and volunteers who are their role models.
Become a Girl Scout family today. It’ll change your lives forever.

We Are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world.
Through programs across Southeastern New England, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends.
Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
