Middle & High School Programs

Teens are changing the world, and our program helps them step outside their comfort zone and learn the tools to take action! As Girl Scouts progress through middle and high school, they have the opportunities to travel, tackle large-scale service projects, and learn life skills that make “adulting” less challenging as they get into the real world. From car care workshops to traveling abroad to achieving the Gold Award, middle and high school Girl Scouts are prepared to take on anything.

Whether she participates in Girl Scouts on her schedule as a Juliette or works with her troop, she will have a safe and supportive community to just be herself. Our council hosts programs, conferences, and committee opportunities for girls to connect with other teens in the region and make life-long friendships.

Learn to Lead is an annual CSA overnight event which is created by our High School Girl Advisory Committee. Program is developed around a theme such as Financing Your Future, Mental Health, and Achieving Your Full Potential. This program features guest speakers in various topic areas, fun activities, crafts, and great food! This event is typically held in November each year.

Raise Your Voice (Third weekend in JUNE) is a yearly opportunity for Girl Scouts to work on a themed Leadership Journey. Through these themed activities, girls develop skills and ambitions to contribute to the social world while experiencing dorm life at a college campus.

How does she want her Girl Scout experience to look?

Reach her potential in the outdoors! She can spend her summers at Camp Liberty, whether as a camper or as a staff member. We have programs planned for older girls like the progressive equestrian program and a fast-track to becoming a camp counselor through Program Aide, Spark, and Counselor-in-Training sessions. And did we mention that we have a Trailblazers troop dedicated to outdoor enthusiasts?

Experience new cultures and expand her horizons! Through council travel and destinations, she can see the world. Our team highly encourages girls to travel! Not only is it fun, but it also teaches valuable skills like budgeting, planning, working as a team, decision making, critical thinking, and more.

Take her next steps as an entrepreneur! Cookies aren’t just cute; they power experiences for girls around the world. When girls in middle and high school manage their cookie sales, they build a resume for becoming business owners. From developing digital marketing campaigns to connecting with companies to buy cookies to tracking inventory and customers, girls learn real-world skills with these sweet treats.

Find her passion for STEM! Girl Scouts are closing the science, technology, engineering, and math industry gaps between men and women. With new robotics badges, expanded tech company partnerships, and programs like our astronomy club, girls will learn the hard skills necessary to enter these fields and the soft skills required to disrupt an industry.

Change the world! Literally. Each year, more and more Girl Scouts go for gold in our region. Through earning High Awards like the Silver Award (grades 6-8) and Gold Award (grades 9-12), girls are identifying a community issue, assembling a team, and taking action with a sustainable solution. Recent Gold Award recipients have paved the way by providing hygiene kits for low-income women, establishing reusable school supply programs for refugees, and building enrichment habitats for zoos.

Where does she start to make such an impact? By becoming a Girl Scout. Renew her membership or join at any age.
