Community Resources

	GIRL SCOUTS OF WESTERN OHIO


	COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDERS Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is one of 150 Girl Scout councils that make up Girl Scouts of the USA - the largest voluntary organization for girls in the world. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio serves over 50,000 girls in a 32 county area in western Ohio and southeast Indiana. More than 16,000 trained adult volunteers work to provide services and deliver the program to girls. In order to provide our adult volunteer leadership with community resources that may help them deliver the Girl Scout program to girls, we compile a list of community resources for use on our website and in print publications. These resources may be used to plan Girl Scout program activities and also serves as a reference guide for adults who are looking for additional training/education opportunities. Your organization may be listed in one of two ways: Community-Sponsored Opportunities - this listing is for organizations/facilities that offer activities/events that have specific dates and times at your location that are specifically for Girl Scouts. These opportunities will be listed on our website and in our print program opportunity publication. Community Resource Profile Listing - this listing is appropriate of those places that are flexible in providing resources for activities based on your organization's needs and the needs of the troop/group. These listings will be listed in a database on our website. REQUIREMENTS Program and safety standards are paramount when working with girls. Staff at all facilities must be willing to provide activities in a safe atmosphere and help Girl Scouts to make progress in achieving at least one of four Girl Scout program goals: Girls understand themselves and their values. Girls use their knowledge and skills to explore the world. Girls care about, inspire, and team with others locally and globally. Girls act to make their world a better place.
