Largest youth-serving agency on Long Island, serving more than 30,000
girls and 5,000 adult volunteers. One of every four girls in grades
K through 12 in Suffolk County is a Girl Scout.
Girl Scouts of Suffolk County is a not-for-profit corporation
governed by a board of directors and administered by President &
CEO. The council has a staff of more than 90 employees and a dedicated
force of more than 7,000 adult volunteers.
Girl Scouts of Suffolk County builds girls of courage, confidence and
character who make the world a better place.
The Council serves more than 30,000 girls between the ages of 5 and
17 (kindergarten through 12th grade). Girls can participate as members
of troops that meet weekly, through group activities such as
sports/workshops/training sessions, or as independent members in
activities such as camping and sports without joining a troop.
Levels of Girl Scouting are Daisy (grades K-1), Brownie (grades
2-3), Junior (grades 4-5), Cadette (grades 6-8), Senior (grades 9-10)
and Ambassador (grades 11-12). Worldwide, more than 3 million girls
are Girl Scouts.
More than 5,000 adult volunteers in Suffolk dedicate their time and
expertise as troop leaders, board members, and other key positions
within the agency. Girl Scout volunteers are a diverse, dedicated and
energetic group of women and men from many different backgrounds and
walks of life.
All Girl Scout facilities serve as training and program centers,
hosting Girl Scout activities, workshops, events and meetings. All
facilities are home to a Girl Scout Shoppe, which offers patches,
badges, uniforms, books, accessories, and boutique gift items.
GSSC operates two year-round Girl Scout camps, both accredited by the
America Camping Association (ACA). In addition to traditional camping,
both camps offer day care during school vacations and special spa-like
camping weekends at Camp Getaway.
