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


GSMWLP
Programs and Events
Like all Girl Scout leadership experiences, Lakes and Pine’s programs and events are built on the Girl Scout philosophy of leadership, in which girls:
Discover (themselves and their values, and use their knowledge and skills to explore the world),
Connect (care about, inspire, and team with others, locally and globally), and
Take Action (to make the world a better place).
Why attend a GSMWLP event or program? If you have attended in the past, you may already know about these benefits:
Ease in planning-staff make reservations, coordinate events and confirm details;
Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Sales, including Cookie Dough, keeps costs affordable for families;
Girls make friends from around the state;
A fun way to invite friends to join you in Girl Scouting.
Girls or groups outside of Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin Lakes and Pines are also welcome to attend any of our events.
And if you're not in Girl Scouts? Not a problem! Join today with an additional fee of $12 for our great events, programs and trips.
