“Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.”

The Girl Scouts Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas is a local organization chartered by the Girl Scouts of the USA. 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 adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, like leadership, strong values, social conscience and conviction about their own potential and self worth. Any girl who is between 5 and 17 years old can become a Girl Scout by accepting the Girl Scout Promise and Law and paying the $12 annual membership dues. However no girl will be denied membership in Girl Scouts for financial reasons.
