GSGNY Background
For over a century, Girl Scouts has been instilling generations of girls with the skills and
knowledge to become young women of courage, confidence, and character, to speak out
and be leaders. Today, Girl Scouts of Greater New York (GSGNY) is delivering its message
of empowerment and engaging more than 38,000 girls of every race, background, and
religion. GSGNY’s vision is a New York City in which every girl feels empowered to lead in
her community, the workplace, and the world. GSGNY has become a hub for innovation
within the broader Girl Scouts movement, presenting new ways to engage and inspire the
next generation of young leaders.



Recent investments and initiatives include:

• The Leadership Institute provides middle and high school aged girls with 21st

century leadership skills and subject-specific knowledge and experiences that will
help girls reshape their views on leadership and about their own potential to
transform into powerful agents of change, while equipping them to succeed in
school and their future careers.

• Troop 6000 is the first Girl Scout program specially designed to serve the

thousands of girls currently living in the New York City homeless shelter system.

• Cybersecurity Programs at Girl Scouts were designed to serve the evolving needs

of New York City’s girls and New York City’s workforce. With the goal of
encouraging girls to consider careers that require STEM skills, this program
ensures girls have the tools and knowledge they need to safely navigate our
increasingly tech-driven world.

• Anti-Racist and Anti-Bias Training: We teach girls to lead by example, and to

that end, we are committed to doing the work necessary to become an anti-racist
organization. We are working to partner with experts in the areas of race,
inclusion, and equity to conduct a series of trainings.

• Camp Kaufmann: The camp experience is an essential part of Girl Scouting – and

as the only Girl Scout council in the nation serving a 100% urban population, we
prioritize offering high quality outdoor education opportunities to New York City
girls. We recently upgraded and enhanced facilities at our 425-acre Camp
Kaufmann in Dutchess County, including the construction of a new swimming
pool.
