Girl Scouts of North East Ohio serves more than 45,000 girls and 15,000 adults in an 18-county region. Membership is extended to all girls and adults who accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Girl Scouts travel the world, learn 21st-century business skills and prepare for a high-tech future. Girl Scouting is the leading authority on girls’ healthy development, and builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. In the Girl Scouts, they discover the fun, friendship and power of girls together; and through the many enriching experiences provided by the Girl Scouts, they can grow courageous and strong.

Membership in the Girl Scout Movement is open to all girls (ages 5-17), and adults (women and men) who subscribe to the Girl Scout Promise and Law. The Girl Scout organization actively seeks members of all races, religious beliefs, nationalities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Registration and troop formation takes place by October 1st of each year, however, new members can join at any time.
