Girl Scout Mission Statement

The Avon Service Unit is the organizing body of all Girl Scout troops in the town of Avon.  First started in 1976 due to growth in the Avon and Plainfield area there were only 18 troops the first year.  This year after celebrating 35 years of scouting in Avon we have a diverse unit including over 50 troops with more than 300 girls in grades K-12!  Over the years there have been many girls that have achieved the top honor in Girl Scouts in Avon and since 1980 the highest award has been the Gold award.  We have been honored to have 39 young women earn this award to date.

Our Service Unit generally offers 1 event a month for the entire Service Unit such events have included Sup-N-Sing, a Mother/Daughter and Father/Daughter event, Fun-O-Ree, and Thinking Day among others.  All troops offer activities that center around the girl and are girl lead providing opportunities to learn by working in a cooperative environment with caring adults.  Each troop also will help girls:

  • Make new friends
  • Earn badges for things such as science, art, citizenship, nutrition, outdoors
  • Participate in field trips and camping adventures
  • Plan and participate in local service projects
