I’m a Girl Scout because Girl Scouts are everything I want to be… hard working, loving, and kind. But most of all, by being a Girl Scout I want to show the world that all girls are smart and that we care about the others and the world around us, not just ourselves.- Emily from Junior Troop 502

 
Girl Scouts is the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls -- all girls -- where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives -- like strong values, a social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth. In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through the many enriching experiences provided by Girl Scouting, they grow courageous and strong.

The Girl Scout Council of Greater Long Beach relies on the financial generosity of donors to live out our mission of “Building Girls of Courage, Confidence, and Character who make the world a better place”. Our goal is to make Girl Scouting available to every girl. We rely on the generous financial gifts of donors to make this possible. The Girl Scout Council is a registered 501( c) (3) non-profit organization. All donations received are tax deductible and directly supports the girls. Everything we do is for the girls.  Yes, we are a volunteer run organization and we are so thankful for the numerous hours of time given by our volunteers. However, it takes money to keep the doors open. Financial gifts goes towards our outreach programs, program costs, property maintenance and improvements, training and general operating needs like keeping the lights on! With your support, Girl Scouting will be there for an ever-increasing number of girls, some of whom may not otherwise have the chance to participate, and for future generations.

For additional information regarding financial gifts please contact Myrna Pappas, Director of Development at (562) 421-8456 x229 or mpappas@gscglb.org.
