Girl Scouts of Manitou Council

Girl Scouts is a membership organization, girls and adults wanting to be a part of Girl Scouts must believe in the Girl Scout Promise and Law and pay a yearly membership fee.

Girl Scouts of Manitou is the largest girl-serving organization in the Lake Michigan western shoreline area. One in every three girls in every elementary school in the council is a Girl Scout – 4,000 Girl Scouts in all or parts of the counties of Calumet, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Ozaukee, Sheboygan, and Washington. More than half of those elementary aged Girl Scouts then continue in Girl Scouting through their middle school and high school years. All these Girl Scouts are guided by more than 1,300 adult members of the Girl Scouts of Manitou Council.

While the Manitou Council maintains an office and Girl Scout shop, Petals to Patches, in Sheboygan, we have strong Girl Scouting in every community in the council. We are committed to ensuring that every Girl Scout in our council has an incredible experience.

Girl Scouts offers unique opportunities for girls to

• to go on journeys that build courage,
• to succeed at new activities that build confidence,
• to give service to their community that builds a life-long a spirit of generosity.

At Girl Scouts, girls and adult volunteers have tons of fun, make new friends, and go on fantastic new adventures together.

Our program centers on what we call the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a collection of activities and experiences girls have as they earn badges, sell cookies, explore the outdoors, do Take Action projects that make a difference, and more.

Put simply, in Girl Scouts girls will:  

Discover. 
Who you they are, what they care about, and what their talents are. 
Connect.
Collaborate with other people, locally and globally, to make a difference in the world. 
Take Action.
Do something to make the world a better place.
