Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania Serving Warren County
Our Mission, Program, & Reach
The Girl Scout mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
• We achieve this through leadership development programming for girls in grades K through 12 in the areas of STEM, outdoors, life skills, and entrepreneurship.
• Our approach is girl-led, collaborative, and encourages ‘learning by doing.
• Girl Scouts provides a safe environment for girls to learn and grow.
Last year, 51 caring and supportive volunteers from the Warren County Service Unit served over 180 Girl Scouts across 9 troops – helping to provide the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. 549 badges were earned in the areas of Life Skills, Entrepreneurship, Outdoors, and STEM.
Our dedicated volunteers provide the kind of behind-the-scenes support that makes it possible for girls in Warren County to make amazing new memories at Girl Scouts. We are always in need of more volunteers – visit www.gswpa.org to see the ways you can volunteer.
Girl Scouts Commitment to Warren County:
Each year, we provide between $750 – $1,250 in financial assistance to local families in Warren County, making a commitment to ensure that all girls can join Girl Scouts despite any financial barriers their families may have. Your support through Warren Gives helps make this possible.

Troop Highlights:
Troop 52981 (Tidioute) has been working on badges. In February, they made Valentine’s for patients at a local hospital and learned about chocolate making. Then in March, they celebrated Girl Scouts’ Birthday. This was planned, decorated, and hosted by their juniors and cadettes.
Troop 46675 is a multi-level troop (K- Grade 8) that has been meeting at St. Joseph’s since 2015.
