Invest in Girls. Change the World.

Girl Scouts provides experiences for girls who will become tomorrow's business, civic and volunteer leaders.

With your help, Girl Scouts of Orange County is providing a safe environment for nearly 21,000 girls to develop their talents and leadership skills and grow up to be strong, healthy and happy women. And we know that Girl Scouts works – a recent study showed that women who were Girl Scouts when they were young have higher perceptions of self, higher rates of volunteerism and civic engagement, higher rates of college education and higher household incomes than non-alumnae.  

A special Girl Scout THANK YOU to the Disneyland Resort for selecting Girl Scouts of Orange County as the first recipient of a series of $60,000 grants in honor of their all-new Million Dollar Dazzle progam, which benefit local non-profit organizations.

Check out the video (below) of the surprise check presentation via the Orange County Register!  Thank you Disneyland for providing some magic that helps bring leadership development programs to girls right here in Orange County!
