There’s greatness in every girl. Girl Scouts helps her find it. Headquartered in Holyoke and Worcester, Massachusetts, Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts (GSCWM) empowers nearly 8,000 girls and supports more than 4,000 adult members in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Worcester and a portion of Middlesex counties. Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. The Girl Scout Leadership model is the foundation of all Girl Scout experiences and engages girls in discovering themselves, connecting with others and taking action to make the world a better place. Girl Scouts offers girls the tools and experiences they need to become successful leaders. Women mentoring teens, teens mentoring girls, and girls taking charge are at the heart of the Girl Scout Movement; together we are building tomorrow's leaders! Membership in Girl Scouts is open to girls in grades K-12; women and men over 18 can join as adult members.
