Girl Scouts does not provide monetary support to any other organization.  All the Council funds are used to provide Girl Scouting to girls in Central and Eastern Kentucky, Lawrence Co. OH and Claiborne Co. TN.

Girl Scouts-Wilderness Road Council does not provide support to Planned Parenthood, nor do we have any collaboration or relationship with that organization. 

We believe issues related to human sexuality and reproductive health are best left to families to discuss with their daughters.

Participation in any program that is on a sensitive topic is always optional and each girl who chooses to participate must provide written consent from her parent or guardian.

The purpose of Girl Scouting is to inspire girls with the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service that they may become happy and resourceful citizens.  These values are embodied in the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

The Girl Scout organization does not endorse or promote any particular philosophy or religious belief.  Our movement is secular and is founded on American democratic principles, one of which is freedom of religion.  While we believe the motivating force in Girl Scouting is a spiritual one, we do not attempt to dictate the form of a member’s worship.  We believe that religious beliefs are private matters for girls and their families to address.

The Girl Scouts value diversity and inclusiveness and, therefore, do not discriminate on any basis. However, we do not permit the advocacy or promotion of a personal lifestyle or sexual orientation, nor do we recruit accordingly.  Indeed, we have firm standards relating to appropriate conduct on the part of all adults who work with girls.  We believe that sexuality issues are a private matter for girls and their families to address.  Also, an application process exists for all adult positions in Girl Scouting, which includes a criminal record check and interview.  We make every attempt to assure that volunteers understand and adhere to our policies and standards of conduct.

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor,

I will try:

to serve God and my country,

to help people at all times,

and to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be

honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong,

and responsible for what I say and do,

and to

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place,

and be a sister to every

Girl Scout.
