In 2001, more than 10,000 girls were Girl Scouts in Angeles Girl Scout Council. Girls may join the Girl Scout movement at any age from 5-17 years old or from kindergarten through twelfth grade. The Girl Scout program is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law and is adapted to meet the developmental, educational, emotional, and social needs and interests of girls at five program levels.
Studies show that girls benefit from an all-girl environment.
Troops are forming all the time. Girls attend troop meetings in their neighborhood or at their school. Girl Scout troops are led by adult volunteers and usually meet once a week.
