Girl Scouts Heart of the South is committed to meeting the needs of girls in our community. Remaining fiscally sound requires significant community investment. We strive to cultivate and foster a culture of philanthropy through programming, relationship building and collaboration to remain the premiere leadership development program for girls. Through generous donors we can expand our revenues and build our capacity within our organization, to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of girls today and for generations to come. Your support will help us shape girls into future leaders with the courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place.

Just as we believe every girl should have the opportunity to participate in Girl Scouts, so too, should every individual have the opportunity to make it possible.

Did you know that $1 million dollars in private donations are needed each year to ensure full delivery of Girl Scouting in our region?

Girl Scouts Heart of the South is the only organization in our 59-county service area that provides the depth and breadth of experiences for girls to develop as leaders. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is the only program of its kind to deliver measurable outcomes in dedicated, age-appropriate curriculum designed from comprehensive research into the leadership training needs of girls, consistently throughout the United States
