Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada

Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada is the regional council headquarters for scouting across the Las Vegas valley, located at 2941 E Harris Ave, zip code 89101. Girls ages 5 to 18 join at the level matching their grade band: Daisies at 5 to 6, Brownies at 7 to 8, Juniors at 9 to 10, Cadettes at 11 to 13, Seniors at 14 to 15, and Ambassadors at 16 to 18. A kindergartner and a high school senior are both in scouting, just doing very different work.

The program list is broad: outdoor programs, STEM activities, life skills training, entrepreneurship, day camps, overnight camps, travel opportunities, community service projects, financial literacy workshops, badge earning, and the well-known Cookie Program. That cookie sale is genuinely an entrepreneurship and financial literacy exercise, since girls handle goal setting, customer interaction, and money management. Beyond troop meetings, the council offers community events, leadership opportunities, and mentorship.

Cost is one of the strongest points. The listing shows a single dollar sign, the lowest paid tier in this directory, which fits the membership-based nonprofit model. Scouting is also flagged as special needs friendly with inclusive programs, so girls with disabilities participate alongside their peers rather than in separate tracks.

Council office hours are Monday and Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Tuesday through Friday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and closed Sunday. Keep in mind these are office hours for the headquarters. Actual troop meetings happen at schools, churches, and community centers across the valley on schedules each troop sets, so your daughter's weekly commitment depends on the troop you join. The organization runs year round, with camps concentrated in summer.

To find a troop near your neighborhood or ask about starting one, call (702) 385-3677 or use the council website. The listing does not record scholarship details, but the council office is the right place to ask about financial assistance for membership fees, since the front desk fields that question constantly.
