Making the World a Better Place
Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors participate in Girl Scouting in many ways. Under the guidance of a trained adult advisor, girls mix and match activities and resources to suit their needs while giving back to their communities. They connect with each other and build self-esteem and confidence in their skills as they work on a range of projects and gain life experiences.
Through Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together.

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In Girl Scouts, adults partner with girls to guide and inspire growth and achievement. The support of parents and dedication of volunteers are essential to the strength and capacity of our Movement.
Grounded in the Girl Scout Promise and Law, Girl Scouting is an informal, experiential, and cooperative education program that promotes girls’ personal growth and leadership development. Partnering with caring adults, girls design fun and challenging activities that empower them and raise their voices within a local, national, and global sisterhood. Whether you are a parent, guardian, volunteer, or thinking about becoming a volunteer, the below positions will help guide you through resources and information designed to support adults in Girl Scouting, so that we may all work together to serve the girls of Blount County/Townsend, Maryville, and Alcoa.
