Supporting Military Families

From Massachusetts to California and Brazil to Beijing, Girl Scouts is proud to serve military families across our country and the world. Each day, we’re inspired by the sisterhood of military-connected girls and volunteers who live and breathe our Girl Scout Promise to serve our country and continue to make a difference (and have fun!) while doing it.

No matter where a family’s military service takes girls, Girl Scouts is at the ready with tried-and-true programming and a supportive network that allows girls to continue their unique leadership journeys; build new friendships; and enjoy a reliable, safe space of their own.

Our military men and women—and their families—continue to set a stunning example living lives of courage, confidence and character that make the world a better place.

The Girl Scout Gold Award Advantage

Did you know? Girl Scouts who earn the Gold Award distinguish themselves in the college admissions process, earn college scholarships, and enter the military one rank higher.

Our Cookie and Fall Product programs support the USO.

The Gift of Caring program is a nationwide community service project; our council supports the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia.

Girl Scouts can earn exclusive VFW scholarships.

Girls from military families are encouraged to apply for the VFW scholarships that are open exlusively to Girl Scouts, as well as other merit-based and interest-based scholarships.

We honor military families for their civic engagement.

Every girl’s voice is important. Learn how Girl Scouts prepares the next generation of leaders through Civics and Citizenship badges and National Service Projects.
