NORTHERN ILLINOIS COUNCIL

About Us

Welcome to Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois!

We are happy to be serving girls and adults in 16 counties in northern Illinois: Boone, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago.

In Girl Scouting, girls in grades K through 12 are engaged in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, which helps them Discover themselves, Connect with others, and Take Action to make the world a better place. Girls develop leadership potential by participating in age-appropriate activities that enable them to discover their values, skills, and the world around them. Activities in science and technology, business and economic literacy, and outdoor and environmental awareness provide girls with opportunities for fun and friendship while fostering the development of leadership skills and self-esteem. To join, volunteer or find out more about how you can support and encourage leadership for girls in northern Illinois, visit our website at www.girlscoutsni.org.
