Girl Scouts of Central Indiana

What Girl Scouts of Central Indiana does

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is a 501(c)(3) non-profit regional council operating under Girl Scouts of the USA's Congressional Charter, delivering youth development programming to girls from kindergarten through high school across Central Indiana. The council segments members into the standard Daisy through Ambassador age tiers and supports them with a curriculum of badges, journeys, and the highest awards (Bronze, Silver, Gold), supplemented by a STEM Experience Center that delivers hands-on science and engineering programming, including school field trips.

The organization's core infrastructure consists of five council-owned camp properties — Camp Ada, Camp Dellwood (celebrating its 100th year in 2026), Camp Gallahue, Camp Na Wa Kwa, and Camp Sycamore Valley — that anchor its summer camp, overnight, and day-program offerings. Supporting technology includes the national MyGS member portal for membership management and badge tracking, Rallyhood as the volunteer coordination and communication platform, and a digital platform that powers the annual Cookie Program and Fall Product Program (nuts, chocolates, magazines).

Revenue is diversified across membership dues, the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program and Fall Product Program (percentage of sales supports council operations), donations (including monthly, planned, and Leadership Circle giving), signature fundraising events (Cocktails @ Camp, Inspire Her Leadership Summit, S'mores on the Circle), and program fees for camps and special activities. The council pursues a community-led go-to-market motion: local outreach, school partnerships, kindergarten/first-grade recruitment via the Get Ready with Girl Scouts program, and a distributed volunteer-driven troop model. Branded partnerships with Delta Dental and Kroger extend programmatic reach through co-branded patch programs.
