GSRI offers girls in kindergarten through twelfth grade the opportunity to build character and skills for success in the real world in an accepting and nurturing all-girl environment. Joining a troop is a great way for your daughter to form friendships, participate in group activities, and learn teamwork, leadership, and decision-making skills.

New this year is the opportunity to be among the first to utilize the Girl Scout Leadership Center – a 10,000 square foot space at GSRI’s new headquarters at 500 Greenwich Avenue in Warwick. The Center will incorporate high quality programming in the areas of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math), making a difference, life skills, travel and adventure, camping and outdoor skills, and global citizenship.

Volunteers are also encouraged to sign-up! As a volunteer, you’ll help introduce girls to new and exciting experiences. No matter how busy your schedule is, there is an opportunity to be a role model for girls, ranging from sharing a skill once, to leading a troop short-term, or joining in on the fun year-round. For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Jill Olson-Crowley at (401) 331-4500 x1415 or email jilloc@gsri.org.

There are several other ways for girls to customize their Girl Scout experience, including registering individually to participate in a program, attending an after-school program in one of the urban communities we serve, and attending summer camp. While participating in the many programs GSRI offers, girls discover who they are and what they value, increase their skills and responsibility, connect with others, build courage, confidence and character, and take action to make the world a better place.

The registration fee to join is $25 -- $15 goes to Girl Scouts of the USA for national membership dues and a $10 council service fee stays right here in Rhode Island. Financial assistance is available. To save you time, you can also visit www.gsri.org and register online. For more information, call (401) 331-4500.
