What is Girl Scouts?

As stated on the GSUSA website - Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls-all girls-everywhere, 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.

A little about our local group...

Welcome to the website of Girl Scouts of the Upper Perkiomen Valley. Girl Scouts were started in our area in 1918 by Maude Kneule. Please visit our history tab to learn all about our past.

The Upper Perkiomen Valley is located in the northern part of Montgomery County. Our service unit serves the girls that attend the Upper Perkiomen Schools, the St Phillip Neri School and the Perkiomen School. We live in the towns and rural areas of Pennsburg, Red Hill, East Greenville, Green Lane, Sumneytown, Perkiomenville, Hereford, Palm and surrounding areas.

Our Service Unit provides support and acts in an advisory role for girls and leaders. It also organizes activities throughout the year. We run an annual service program that teaches the girls to care for others and the community as a whole. We try to teach the girls that even a single girl can make a difference. We participate in many community events such as community day, parades and Martin Luther King Day. We also organize a "Secret Santa" through the Open Line, food drives, and many other service projects for others in need.

The Upper Perkiomen Service Unit is part of Girl Scouts of Eastern PA which in turn is part of Girl Scouts of the USA.
