Safe Surfing Notice - If you are visiting a site other
than that of a Girl Scout Council or Girl Scouts of the USA
or links from those pages, be sure to watch for sites where
Girl Scouts is listed in any format after a " / " mark in the
name such as www.anysite.com/girlscoutstejas. We have
found some of the sites to be pornographic in nature, and unfortunately,
under current laws, this is legal. Girl Scouts of the USA and
others are lobbying to eliminate this version of stealing an
organization's good name. Girls should only use the Internet
with adult supervision as is mentioned in the GSUSA
Online Safety Pledge (this will open a new browser window,

We do not maintain the content of other web sites and do not
endorse any products found there. Please be a safe Internet
explorer when you view other sites and
let us know if any of the following links do not work. Please
send us any links you find particularly
helpful and that would be of benefit to other Girl Scouts.
