Is your graduating Ambassador attending college in the fall? Campus Girl Scouts a way for her to continue her connection to the the organization.
Being a Girl Scout doesn’t end at high school graduation, it simply evolves. The lessons learned as a Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and beyond extend far beyond childhood, shaping leadership skills, confidence, and character well into adulthood. For many young women, one of the most meaningful ways to continue that journey is by becoming a Campus Girl Scout.
Girl Scout alums are part of a lifelong sisterhood that spans generations. Whether you were a scout for one year or thirteen years, you are still a part of the sisterhood. They are connected to millions of women who share the same values of courage, confidence, and character. That connection does not disappear after graduation, in fact, it often becomes even more meaningful while navigating college, careers, and life beyond. According to Girl Scouts of the USA, there are countless ways for alums to stay involved, but Campus Girl Scouts stands out as a unique bridge between youth membership and adult leadership.
Campus Girl Scouts programs bring that sisterhood into college life. These clubs are typically student-led organizations that allow members to volunteer, lead, and grow while balancing the demands of higher education. Whether you’re mentoring younger Girl Scouts, helping lead a troop, or organizing events on campus, you’re continuing the mission in a new and impactful way.
What makes Campus Girl Scouts especially meaningful is the opportunity to give back. College students serve as role models for younger girls, helping them envision their futures and navigate challenges. Activities might include hosting STEM workshops, leading campus tours, or supporting badge work. These experiences not only benefit younger Girl Scouts but also help college students build real-world skills like leadership, communication, and project management.
At the same time, being a Campus Girl Scout is incredibly flexible. College life is busy, and this program understands that. Members can choose their level of involvement, from occasional volunteering to taking on major leadership roles. Some clubs even run their own troops or organize multiple service events each year, creating opportunities for meaningful impact both on and off campus.
For alums, joining or starting a Campus Girl Scouts club can feel like coming home. It’s a chance to reconnect with the traditions you loved, like service, friendship, and leadership, while also creating new experiences that reflect your current goals and passions. You’re no longer just earning badges; you’re helping others earn theirs.
Most importantly, being a Girl Scout alum and a Campus Girl Scout is about continuing a legacy. It’s about showing younger girls that leadership doesn’t have an age limit and that the Girl Scout Promise and Law are not just words, they are a way of life.
