Girls choose their own path to becoming a “real” Girl Scout. They can sign up for an outdoors series designed to perfect their hiking skills, learn how to swim at a session of summer camp, help plan a group trip and travel overseas, collect donations for a Project Undercover event, join an afterschool troop – or do it all.

This year, girls will even have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Washington, DC for the 100th Anniversary Celebration of Girl Scouting!!

Each girl decides the pathway that’s right for them. Read our most recent Program Guide (PDF) and see just how many ways a girl can be a Girl Scout. Or, click on the icon below for a great new calendar that features all programs, trainings and council events.

Rhody Rockets

Our council boasts a winning canoe team called The Rhody Rockets. The team competes each year in the General Clinton Canoe Regatta in Bainbridge, NY. At the 2011 event, held Saturday, May 28, four teams competed in the Senior Division Sprint (14-18 years): Emily Dench and Brittnee Toro placed 1st, Clair O'Brien and Kelsey Brown placed 2nd, Ellen Howard and Haleigh Freeburg placed 3rd, and Courtney Graham and Allegra Gribble placed 4th! A clean sweep -- just as the girls predicted!!!

Two teams participated in the Junior Division Sprint (11-14 years): Clara Crawford and Judy Hall placed 7th, Erin Chille and Heather McDermott placed 8th. One team competed in the Ten-Mile Endurance (13-16 years): Monica Prudencio and Jessica Dowling placed 4th. Congrats to our incredible 2011 team (pictured here)!
