The Girl Scouts of St. Matthew are an active troop; we meet monthly and are looking for girls between ages of 5-13 or kindergarten-6th grade levels to join us!  The programs for our Daisies, Brownies and Juniors are exciting and the girls will have many new experiences and meet many new friends!   We are also looking for a few committed adults who enjoy being with young girls and helping them to grow into fantastic young women of tomorrow!  Our meetings are on Sundays 4:00pm-5:30pm.

Our Girl Scouts and Brownies are in need of uniforms. If you have any apparel or desire any information regarding Girl Scouts contact Marion.
