Community Troops

About Girl Scouts Community Troops

The Community Troops program brings Girl Scouting to 19 communities across Miami-Dade County, with weekly after-school and evening programs plus weekend activities throughout the school year. With community support, we're committed to reaching even more girls.

Who we serve

We create the space with mentorship and experiences for nearly 600 girls each school year—all from low-income households—through weekly after-school and evening programming and weekend adventures.

How We Carry Out Girl Scout Community Troops

Girl Scout Community Troops are led by dedicated volunteers and Girl Scout Council staff, meeting weekly at community centers, parks, and schools, with weekend activities woven in. Girl Scouts earn badges, travel, sell cookies, explore science, get outdoors, and give back through community service — all part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience that helps her rise into who she's meant to become.

What Girl Scouts Gain in Community Troops

We believe that all girls deserve the opportunity to develop into leaders. Through this program, Girl Scouts:

Build a strong, authentic sense of self
Carry positive values into everything they do
Meet challenges with courage and grow from setbacks
Build healthy, lasting relationships
Learn to spot problems in their community — and solve them

The Girl Scouts Community Troops program is made possible with the support of our donors, The Carrie Meek Foundation, The Children’s Trust, The Ocean Reef Community Foundation, Burger King Foundation, Key Biscayne Community Foundation, Florida Blue Foundation, Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, Lloyd and Helen Dilworth Foundation, Ivette Hoffman, Miami-Dade County, Ortega Family Foundation, Peacock Foundation, and United Way Miami.
