Girl Scouts is a wonderful experience for girls and adults!

Girls

Come experience the fun, friendship and power of girls together! All girls ages 5-17 are welcome, as long as they agree to make the Girl Scout Promise, accept the Girl Scout Law and pay the $10 national membership dues.

Girl Scout Council of the Mid-South offers the Girl Scout program to girls living within our 10-county, three-state jurisdiction. The five different age levels in Girl Scouts allow for girls to progress in skills and activities together. 

STUDIO 2B, for girls 11-17, was developed in October 2002. Key elements for success with teens include mix and match participation opportunities, teen savvy adults, and an emphasis on utilizing the "by girls, for girls" approach.

Girls who want to be Girl Scouts, but are unable to participate in troop or group activities, may choose to register individually as a Juliette. These girls are provided opportunities to participate in group experiences with peers in partnership with trained adults.

Placement options give girls the chance to experience Girl Scouting in a variety of ways – including but not limited to, at church, school, housing communities, and individually. Financial assistance is available to eliminate economic barriers.

Girls in Girl Scouts have the opportunity to make new friends, go camping, do science experiments, help others, learn about careers, travel, mentor younger girls, canoe, hang out with other Girl Scouts, etc. You can dream, plan and carry out almost any adventure.

If you’re ready to start your Girl Scout adventure right now, or if you want to learn more, contact Girl Scout Council of the Mid-South’s membership department. Read the frequently asked questions (FAQs) section to find some answers, too.

Adults

It’s never too late to be a Girl Scout! Here in the Mid-South, there are around 2,500 adults (women and men) who believe in the value of Girl Scouting and show their support and commitment by being registered members of Girl Scouts of the USA.

While troop leaders continue to be the most needed volunteer, there are numerous other volunteer opportunities available. Our screening and selection or placement process will help find a meaningful way for you to share your skills and talents within the time you have available in your schedule. Your clearly defined role, however large or small, will help girls grow strong through their Girl Scout experience, and will enrich your life.

Adult members must accept the principles and beliefs as stated in GSUSA’s Preamble of the Constitution; pay national dues ($10 per year) and meet applicable membership standards.

As an adult member, you will receive council publications and GSUSA’s Leader magazine, can take advantage of trainings offered by the council, enrich you life and made a difference! To learn more about being involved, see the information provided in the Volunteer section.
