Organization Overview

The Hoosier Girl Coalition is an unprecedented collaboration between six existing Girl Scout councils serving girls in the state of Indiana.

Girl Scouts of the USA and the six chartered Girl Scout councils of Indiana are individual non-profit organizations founded in 1912 with a mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. As the largest girl leadership organization in the world, we see girls grow through their participation in our time-tested, evidence-based Girl Scout Leadership Experience and today, more than 25,000 girls in Indiana receive this experience through their local council.
