Girl Scouts Programming
By Girl Scouts of Eastern MA
We help girls develop courage, confidence, and character through community service, exploration, workshops and adventures, including lessons in STEM, outdoors, life skills, entrepreneurship.
This is an ongoing program.
We hold individual events, trips, and classes that members can choose to participate in virtually and across Eastern Massachusetts. Most Troops meet Oct-June but each troop has it's own meeting schedule. See our calendar for information about upcoming opportunities or talk to your troop leader once you've been assigned: Girls Scouts of Eastern, MA Programs Calendar.

Nationally, we're 3.2 million strong—3.2 million girls and adults who believe every girl can change the world. In eastern Massachusetts, we're 50,000 strong—35,000 girls and 15,000 adults. It began over 100 years ago with one woman, Juliette Gordon "Daisy" Low, who believed in the power of every girl. Today, we continue her mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place, by helping them discover their inner strength, passions, and talents.
Also, we encourage parents to volunteer with us to help support troop activities when possible!
Program continues to run during Winter vacation, February vacation, and April vacation.
