Who We Are
Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana launched on July 1, 2008, after seven independent local councils merged as part of a national strategy focused on transforming the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
We are the largest Girl Scout council in the country, impacting the lives of nearly 87,000 girl members and 24,000 adult volunteers who reside in 245 communities in six Illinois counties (Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Kankakee, Lake, and Will) and four Indiana counties (Jasper, Lake, Newton, and Porter).
Girl Scout Gathering Places and program facilities located throughout the council's jurisdiction offer community-based girl program activities, training, Girl Scout shops, and access to a variety of support services for volunteers.
