Girl Scout Programs & Activities
Through Girl Scouting, girls discover the fun, friendship and power of girls together. The Girl Scout Program is girl-driven and reflects the ever-changing needs and interests of today's girls. Girls learn the importance of personal responsibility, the value of goal-setting, the spirit of teamwork, and the thrill of accomplishment by planning and participating in many rewarding and enriching experiences.

The Girl Scout program is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law and four fundamental goals that encourage girls to:
- Develop to their full potential
- Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect
- Develop a meaningful set of values to guide their actions and to provide for sound decision-making
- Contribute to the improvement of society
Girl Scouts are divided into Daisy Girl Scouts (ages 5-6), Brownie Girl Scouts (ages 6-8), Junior Girl Scouts (ages 8-11), Cadette Girl Scouts (ages 11-14), or Senior Girl Scouts (ages 14-17).

Outreach Programs
Because not all girls are able to participate in volunteer led troops, due to various geographic, socioeconomic and emotional challenges, Girl Scouts brings Girl Scouting to them to serve their special needs. The Council's outreach programs include: girls who may live in public housing, rural communities, "the barrios", the "colonias," and the El Paso County Juvenile Detention Center. Girls who cannot or do not wish to participate in a troop/group, can still participate as a Juliette Girl Scout and do most of the same activities as girls who participate in troops/groups.
