Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey serves girls in grades K-12 in Bergen, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and northern Warren counties. We bring the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to more than 19,000 girls and 10,200 adult members.
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.
We BELIEVE… in the power of girls. From her first troop sleepover with her very best friends to designing her own adventure - our girls find the sparkle that makes them special. And we think that’s pretty cool!
We CONNECT…Girl Scouts and their adult mentors and help them make friendships that will last a lifetime. Teamwork, friendship, and community unite us, and we shine so much brighter when we're together.
We GET INVOLVED…our girls and volunteers change our communities and the world through small acts of kindness and through BIG ideas that make a lasting impact.
