Girl Scouts

The Girl Scouts of Chicago are part of the largest all girl organization in the world. It is open to girls from ages 5 to 17. The mission of the Girl Scouts is to help girls develop to their fullest potential and to become competent, resourceful women. It enables them to acquire the skills and talents to overcome barriers that limit girl's achievements. The program produces skills for good citizenship, positive self-image, leadership, decision making and resourcefulness. The girls also learn to give service to others.

Girl Scouts activities include learning about the arts, such as music, crafts, drama, drawing, painting; learning about the outdoors, such as camping, hiking, outdoor cooking, becoming a lover of nature; learning about sciences such as computers, math, science; learning about other people and their own heritage; learning about well being for themselves and others, such as exercising, first aid, games, cooking and sports.

We have six troops at St. Tarcissus that meet two times a month. Daisies are kindergartners. Brownies are first through third graders. Juniors are in the fourth through sixth grades, Cadettes are seventh through ninth graders, and Seniors are in the ninth through twelfth grades. A new program, called Studio 2B, is available for ages 11 through 17. The Seniors work to achieve the highest award in Girl Scouts, the Gold Award.
