Sybaquay Council exists to offer Girl Scout program to every girl, ages 5 to 17, who lives within our jurisdiction. To this end, volunteers and staff work as partners in a collaborative effort. This collaboration includes delivering Girl Scout program, coordinating the volunteer structure, maintaining and improving council properties, and raising funds through donations to support program activities, property management, and the council's operations.
