HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Over one hundred years ago, the first Girl Scout troop was founded on the Delmarva Peninsula. With more than 5,400 girls supported by 2,800 adult volunteers, Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay helps girls discover their strengths, passions and talents. This year, our programs are adapting to virtual and small group delivery for girls
in 14 counties in Delaware and the Eastern
Shores of Maryland and Virginia. Girl Scouts
of the Chesapeake Bay offers today’s girls a chance to do something amazing.
