Our Council | Girl Scouts

We're here to help them shine.

Behind every Girl Scout and volunteer is a team of local staff ready to help them earn that next badge, embark on a camping adventure, or organize an impactful service project. That’s what a Girl Scout council is. We are here to maintain camp properties, provide local Girl Scouts skill-building workshops and resources to achieve whatever they can dream up.

Established in June 2007 from the union of four Girl Scout councils (Hudson Valley, Mohawk Pathways, Adirondack, and North Country), we represent almost 10,000 girls of courage, confidence, and character across 15 counties in New York state. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization offering every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.
