2019-2020 Welcome
At Girl Scouts Louisiana East, we believe in the Power of G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator,
Risk-taker, Leader)™ and our 2019-2020 programs reflect it!
There is no other organization that more thoroughly understands the value of programming
designed specifically for girls and delivered in an all-girl learning space than Girl Scouts.
So whether it’s Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) that interests you, or Life
Skills, the Outdoors, or Entrepreneurship, we hope you’ll unleash your inner G.I.R.L. and
join us for a year of adventure, learning, and challenging activities.
