Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road Council We offer programming for girls from kindergarten through their senior year of high school.

Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road encourages girls to pursue their unique passions, build community, and discover their potential, through offering a lifetime of adventure, leadership, and success. Our four-primary pillars, STEM, Outdoor Adventure, Life Skills and Entrepreneurship, motivates girls to become leaders of their communities and of their own lives. With over 3,000 volunteers, 40 employees, 8,500 girl members, GSKWR serves 66 counties in Northeast and Central Kentucky and 1 Ohio County and is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. GSKWR is largely reliant on its dedicated volunteers, committed corporate partners and generous donors for its ongoing success. The council offers flexible volunteer options for varied commitment levels and customized donor and corporate partnership opportunities. Contact us for more information on how to join Girl Scouts, volunteer or partner with us!

Explore What's Next
Girl Scouts are always exploring what’s next—and so are we.
We're entering the next chapter by building on what your Girl Scout already loves! Guided by actual experiences of Girl Scouts, families, and volunteers, as well as ongoing research, we've created more opportunities for your Girl Scout to explore and discover—while making it easier than ever for volunteers to guide the adventure. It's still the same Girl Scouts you know, growing right alongside your Girl Scout.

Volunteers, you're invited.
Get an early look at what's next for the Girl Scout experience. Register to attend one of our special virtual previews where you'll learn:

How feedback from girls, families, and volunteers is helping shape what's next
What's changing and the exciting things coming in the months ahead
New tools, resources, and experiences designed to help you and your Girl Scouts thrive
