Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Girl scouts have been around for several decades. Sometimes we do not give importance of what all this thing is about. Maybe you don't think about Girl Scouts until you see those booths and camps up in October. Camping and other outdoor activities are absolutely good reasons to join, but there's so much more than that. Girl Scouts movement help build a girl's courage, confidence and character. All skills that can benefit a girl as she grows into adulthood can be nurtured in scouting.
