THE PROGRAM

Fast, free, and introductory

Try It! is designed as a short, free introduction to Girl Scouts programming—an opportunity for girls to sample a range of activities without prior commitment.

THE ACTIVITIES

STEM to creative arts, hands on

Sessions span STEM experiments and creative‑arts projects, giving participants a chance to try different skills and projects in a single visit.

THE COMMUNITY

Sisterhood, volunteer info, and next steps

While girls engage in activities, adults can learn how volunteers support troops and events—making Try It! as much an introduction to community and leadership as to craft and science.
