Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland Council is proud to be a girl-centric and girl-driven environment where a girl finds courage to explore new worlds and adventures, confidence to believe in herself and her abilities, character to stand by her values and connections to girls from every background. It is also the place where girls return those gifts by becoming the next generation of women leaders through service and reinvestment in their communities.
Girl Scouts exists to address the ever-changing needs of today’s girls. As members, girls build strong self-esteem and learn globally marketable skills such as financial literacy and budgeting, teamwork and consensus building, resourcefulness and respect for the environment, and appreciation of the arts.
Girl Scouts is open to girls in grades K-12. A girl or adult who meets or can meet membership requirements shall not be denied admission to Girl Scouting due to age or disability, or because of race, color, ethnicity, religion, national origin, or socioeconomic status. Learn more about membership.
