ABOUT US

Our Service Unit
The Marin del Centro Girl Scouts is made up of girls and adults from central Marin County. We are located in California, USA, just north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Over 500 girls take advantage of the varied cultural, social and outdoor activities that are available in this beautiful location!

Our Communities
We live in towns nestled at the base of Mount Tamalpais: Corte Madera, Larkspur, Kentfield, Ross, San Anselmo, Greenbrae, Fairfax, Lagunitas, Forest Knolls and Nicasio.

Purpose Statement
