Mission & Purpose |

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. |
Jurisdiction |
|
The council serves approximately 4,500 girl and adult members in 15 counties: Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Cleburne, Fulton, Izard, Madison, Marion, Newton, Searcy, Sharp, Stone, Van Buren and Washington. |
Finance |
|
The council is funded through annual product sales, United Ways of Benton, Washington and Boone Counties, and from annual giving contributions from parents and friends of Girl Scouts, corporate and foundation grants and program fees. |
Product Programs |
|
The annual Cookie Program is an important part of the Girl Scout Program. Although this program raises valuable funds for troops and council operations, its purpose is to teach girls basic business skills, give them confidence in their abilities and allow them to follow through on goals. |
