Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains

Girl and volunteer experience: volunteer-led troops provide traditional Girl scouting to girls ages five through 17 in partnership with trained adult leaders. Activities for the girls include troop meetings, service projects, product program activities, including the annual Girl scout cookie sale. The cookie program helps Girl develop five essential skills: 1) goal setting, 2) decision making, 3) money management, 4) people skills and 5) business ethics, and outdoor programming that provides opportunities for girls to learn valuable decision making and team building skills. Adult learning opportunities are offered throughout the year for volunteers to learn best practices in working with girls through Girl Scouts. Girls learn to be go-getters, innovators, risktakers and leaders while building courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place. Program serves 7,157 girls and 3,966 adults.

Community partnerships: community partnership programs provide quality programming for girls in low-income areas during or after school making Girl scouting accessible to every Girl. Through school-based, staff-led troop experiences, girls participate in troop meetings, service projects, and product program activities, including the annual Girl scout cookie sale. Girls learn to be go-getters, innovators, risk-takers and leaders while building courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place. Program serves 3,079 girls.

Property and outdoor: the council offers five resident/troop camps. Girls gain independence, self-confidence, and grow as individuals as they connect with outdoors and their environment. Program is developed to be delivered as a part of a consistent core leadership model, with particular focus on outdoor experiences, for example, high adventure courses, equestrian training, archery, and environmental stewardship and life skills. Program serves 680 girls and 76 adults.
