Program areas at GSHNJ

Product program - everything girls do in Girl scouting is designed to help them grow into leaders with courage, confidence, and character. The five skills girls learn through the Girl scout product programs: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, are important ingredients in the Girl scout leadership experience. Proceeds from the product program remain local, helping to fund troop activities that allow girls to explore the other pillars of the Girl scout leadership experience, and support council operations necessary to deliver programming and maintain council infrastructure. In 2021, 2,629 girls participated in the fall product program, and 8,208 girls participated in the cookie program.
Girl scout leadership experience for over 100 years, participation in individual and troop activities, attending council developed and delivered programs, earning badges, engaging in community service, travelling, and pursuing high awards have served as cornerstones of the Girl scout leadership experience. With the help of supportive adults and troop leaders, Girl Scouts discover, connect, and take action to make the world a better place. In 2021, gshnj delivered the Girl scout leadership experience to 11,751 girls. The council delivered 16,724 program sessions, including stem, entrepreneurship and life experiences.
