General information about Girl Scouts
Welcome to Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana! We are one of more than 100 councils chartered by Girl Scouts of the USA. Each year, the council serves more than 10,000 girls and 2,500 volunteer adults in eleven counties in Southwestern Indiana—Posey, Gibson, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Pike, Daviess, Knox, Martin, Dubois, Spencer, and Perry Counties.
Girl Scouts is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls—all girls—where, in an accepting, nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives—leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.
