Girl Scouts of America
Sacred Heart Girl Scouts are a part of Saratoga Service Unit 18 of Girl Scouts of Northern California. Girls in grades K-8 are encouraged to join their troop level to help build girls of courage, confidence & character who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts is a value based organization finding it's foundation in the Girl Scout "Promise" & "Law" which include service to God, country, honest, fair, friendly, respectful and more!
Troops meet 1-2 times per month. Girls participate in fun activities, field trips and community projects to achieve, petals (Daisy's), Try It's (Brownies) and Badges (Juniors/Cadettes). And it wouldn't be Girl Scouts without "Cookies" and "Camping"! Girls are encouraged to participate in cookie sales to help earn money for troop activities and there are many opportunities for camping within the Girl Scout organization with her troop.
