The Girl Scout Advantage
Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan lays the foundation that gives our girls the
courage, confidence, and character to truly make the world a better place.
Girl Scouts is THE organization for girls who seek
bold adventures, and who want to be decision-
makers, today and into the future. Girl Scouts
Heart of Michigan upholds the values of more than
a century of Girl Scouting. As our girls change
and grow, we grow with them, providing the
opportunities they request for new experiences, and
learning new things. Research tells us* that girls
gain more benefits, from higher future aspirations
to better self concepts, in a single-sex environment
like the Girl Scouts, where ever-present societal
pressures are not a distraction or hindrance. In
this way, girls can best prepare to make the world a
better place as bold and courageous citizens.
Be a sister to every Girl Scout. Helping detach a

Girl Scout Promise and Law
Girl Scout Promise Girl Scout Law
On my honor, I will try: I will do my best to be
To serve God and my country, honest and fair,
To help people at all times, friendly and helpful, More mud, more fun!
And to live by the Girl Scout Law. considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
Every girl has the ability to lead, and to
respect myself and others,
but only one in five girls believes respect authority,
that she can be a leader. use resources wisely,
Girl Scouts of the USA make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
