Exploration for every interest—with your besties!

Girl Scouts in 7th grade and up (second-year Cadettes and older) can join a club any time. Participation is flexible to accommodate the busy schedules of our older Girl Scouts. However, with new opportunities throughout the year, you’ll want to keep coming back for more! Participation in these clubs is included with Girl Scout membership. (Participants may be asked to pay for trip/program fees and supplies as needed.)

Reach out to CustomerCare@gsccc.org for more information, or browse our Event Calendar for upcoming meetings.

Are you a local company, organization, or individual who wants to support our clubs? Contact us for more information about sponsorships, program partnerships, and more!

Star Club toggle arrow

If you find yourself gazing at the night sky in wonder, the Star Club is looking for new members. In the past, the Star Club has learned to use telescopes with the Back Bay Amateur Astronomers, taught Space Science badge workshops for younger Girl Scouts, and co-hosted a planetarium event at the Michael and Kimthanh Lê Planetarium at ODU.

If you are a Girl Scout in 7th grade or above, you can help us plan and experience the rest of the year. We meet virtually the second Tuesday of every month and in person for scheduled events. Most events are free or low cost!

For more information about this club, join us on Rallyhood!

Do you like cooking or wish to learn new recipes, love to share your favorite foods, or want to make new friends over a good meal? The Cooking Club is looking for new members. You might try baking s’mores inside a box, picking peanuts from a farmer’s field, or making ice cream!

If you are a Girl Scout in 7th grade or above, you can join us! We meet virtually the Wednesday following the second Tuesday every month and once a month in person for scheduled events. Most events are free or low cost!

For more information about this club, join us on Rallyhood.

Younger Girl Scouts are invited to join us for these upcoming events where club members will share the skills they have learned!

Blazing Blue Herons Canoe Team toggle arrow

The award-winning Blazing Blue Herons focus on giving girls opportunities to develop skills in canoeing and offer fun activities that include competitive racing. Expect to learn water safety, endurance as a canoer, and how to be part of a team. They also get involved in water-based expeditions and environmental stewardship projects. The team practices weekly on Sundays during the fall and spring to prepare for race season in May and June.

For more information about this group, join us on Rallyhood!

Wild Things toggle arrow

The Wild Things high adventure group is all about the outdoors! Be challenged with hikes and camping trips to local (and not-so-local) destinations. Wild Things provides outdoor activities to meet Girt Scouts' capabilities, teach team building skills, and build self-confidence, such as rock climbing, rappelling, whitewater rafting, tubing, archery, canoeing, bicycle camping, hiking, paddleboarding, backpacking and more.

For more information about this group, join us on Rallyhood!

Register for the 2026 Turkey Hang! Our most popular event will be held November 6-8 at Newport News City Park Campground.

Colonial Coast Girl Scout Cavers toggle arrow

The Colonial Coast Cavers are dedicated to spelunking! They take a bi-annual trek to the hills of West Virginia to explore the underground world through caving. The group also hosts an annual program in January at Camp Skimino called Cracks, Crevices and Crawlways; this indoor, simulated caving program introduces caving to Girl Scouts of all ages.

For more information about this group, join us on Rallyhood or contact colonialcoastcavers@gmail.com.

Upcoming Events

  • Fall Caving Trip: October 15-18, 2026
  • Cracks, Crevices & Crawlways: March 14, 2027 (set-up on March 12-13)
