The Girl Scouts of the USA is an organization for American girls in the United States and those living overseas. It is based on the scouting principles developed by the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. Like boy scouts, girl scouts are taught values such as courage, honesty, fairness, compassion, character, confidence, and citizenship. They can also earn badges for demonstrating their skills in practical exercises.

Girl Scout Cookies
For over 90 years, girl scouts worldwide have participated in an annual fund raising drive during which they sell boxes of cookies to community members. The exercise is designed to develop skills such as goal setting, money and time management, teamwork and entrepreneurship among the girls. The funds remain in the community in which they were raised and go towards improving and maintaining Girl Scout facilities and programs. -
