On my honor, I will try:

    And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be

    honest and fair,

    friendly and helpful,

    considerate and caring,
    courageous and strong, and
    responsible for what I say and do, 

and to 
    respect myself and others, 

    respect authority, 
    use resources wisely, 
    make the world a better place,  and 
    be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Who We Are
Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland Council is proud to be a girl-centric and girl-driven environment where a girl finds courage to explore new worlds and adventures, confidence to believe in herself and her abilities, character to stand by her values and connections to girls from every background. It is also the place where girls return those gifts by becoming the next generation of women leaders through service and reinvestment in their communities.

Girl Scouts exists to address the ever-changing needs of today’s girls. As members, girls build strong self-esteem and learn globally marketable skills such as financial literacy and budgeting, teamwork and consensus building, resourcefulness and respect for the environment, and appreciation of the arts.

Girl Scouts is open to girls ages 5-17. A girl or adult who meets or can meet membership requirements shall not be denied admission to Girl Scouting due to age or disability, or because of race, color, ethnicity, religion, national origin or socioeconomic status.

As of October 1, 2009, Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland Council serves the girls and adult volunteers in 30 counties: Adams, Ashland, Coshocton, Crawford, Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Gallia, Guernsey, Highland, Hocking, Holmes, Jackson, Knox, Licking, Madison, Marion, Morrow, Muskingum, Perry, Pickaway, Pike, Richland, Ross, Scioto, Union, Vinton, Wayne and Wyandot.
