Language
Our brand voice is encouraging, thoughtful, welcoming, lively. Our brand voice is not perfect, flashy, elite or rehearsed.
- Focus on people. Highlight real Girl Scouts and those you’re speaking to, not the organization.
- Use “Girl Scout” right. It’s singular as an adjective (e.g., Girl Scout Cookies).
- Don’t say “empower.” Girls already have power—Girl Scouting helps them use it.
- Show today’s impact. Talk about what Girl Scouts are doing now, not just future potential or past memories.
- Show, don’t tell. Use real examples, keep it upbeat and inclusive, and speak like a human—not a brochure.
Colors
Girl Scout Green is our primary color and should be used prominently in external communications, especially when representing Girl Scouts as an organization. Forest Green and Star Green can be used as background colors or for emphasis.

Shapes
Our brand utilizes a variety of shapes when crafting compositions. Having this variety of shapes contributes to visual variety and compositional flexibility and range. Shapes available for download soon!
Photography
Our photography should always embody who girls are (expression) and what they do (environment). It’s important to show girls in both community settings and as unique individuals—while also capturing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all their forms, including age, race, ability, size, and geography. It’s also important to show girls with the parents and volunteers who help shape their experiences, while always ensuring the focus is still on the girl.
