How We Serve Girls
Girl Scouts of Citrus Council is a forerunner in the development of self-esteem and leadership skills of girls, young women and adults. The Girl Scout program is an informal educational program, carried out in small groups with adult leadership. It provides a wide range of exciting and fund activities developed around the interests and needs of girls.

Girl Scout Program

Girl Scouting is a fun learning experience for all girls! The Girl Scout program has four fundamental goals that express the ways girls may benefit from their Girl Scout experiences:

• Developing to her full individual potential.
• Relating to others with increasing understanding, skill and respect.
• Developing values to guide her actions and to provide the foundation for sound decision-making.
• Contributing to the improvement of society through the use of her abilities and leadership skills, working in cooperation of others.
