We show girls that they have the power to have a positive effect on not just their community, but the world.
About us
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland is the premier girl-centered and girl-directed leadership development program for girls in kindergarten through 12th grade. With the support of volunteers, we serve more than 18,000 girls across 30 Ohio counties. At Girl Scouts, we believe in the strength of every girl. Through our programming, we encourage girls to build, learn, and grow in hands-on activities, from outdoor adventures to discovery sessions in STEM and entrepreneurship. With the help of the central Ohio community and beyond, we provide girl-driven programs that change our communities and the world. You can get involved by: • Exploring flexible volunteering options, both short-term and long-term • Charitable giving – just $30 provides a girl with a year of Girl Scout adventures • Joining the Girl Scouts team – check our website for job postings For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts has helped young women develop skills to become a leader in the community. At Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland, we are privileged to continue preparing girls to take on the world. To learn more about GSOH, follow us at GirlScoutsOH on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
