Introduction of Ministry
Girl Scouts is the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to 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: strong values, leadership, social conscience, and conviction of their own potential and self-worth. If the church does not provide a platform for these girls then the streets will.
Mission Statement
Girl Scouts' mission is to offer something to every girl in Girl Scouting and give them an opportunity for to build confidence and courage on every step of their path. Girl Scouting will build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
History
The Girl Scouts have had a presence at First Baptist Church sine August 1990.
Activities and Services
