Our Programs

The Girl Scout Cookie Sale is more than just tasty cookies! It teaches girls goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. 100% of all cookie proceeds stay in our Council to help support Girl Scouting in northern Alaska.

Girl Scout Camp is a long-standing tradition for generations of girls. Camp Jessie Bloom was named after our Council’s founder, Jessie Bloom, who thought that it was essential that girls get outside to explore what it means to truly be a Girl Scout. Since the impact of the pandemic and our reduction in staff we have been unable to hold in-person camp, but we still do what we can to get girls outside, excited about experiencing the natural world, and inspired to be stewards of this beautiful country around us! We hope to one day again offer in-person camp and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we do!
