Girl Scouts is the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. Troops and groups in more than 92 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas, and over 100 local Girl Scout councils offer girls the opportunity for membership across the United States. Girl Scouts of North East Ohio serves girls in grades K-12 and adult members in Ashtabula, Carroll, Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Huron, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Sandusky, Seneca, Stark, Summit, Trumbull and Tuscarawas Counties. 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.

Various troops have met at St. Joseph's over the years.
