Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington

Mission

Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Bottom Line

Girl Scouts of Oregon & Southwest Washington creates spaces where girls* can experiment, take risks, and form lasting connections. We offer opportunities, activities, and programs for K–12 girls, including day and overnight camps, Oregon’s largest youth STEM event, and Girl Scouts Beyond Bars, which connects justice-impacted girls and families to Girl Scout experiences.
 

*Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington uses the term “girl” inclusively to speak to everyone who identifies with the Girl Scout experience, which includes cisgender, gender-expansive youth, transgender youth, nonbinary youth, gender nonconforming youth, genderqueer youth, and any girl-identifying human.

Quote

“Since starting Girl Scouts Beyond Bars, my relationship with my girls has grown so much. It gave my youngest the confidence to join sports, go to her school dance, and even hang out with other Girl Scouts. The relationships and strengths I got from Girl Scouts will be with my girls and me forever and will play a big part in my recovery.”
