Farthest North Girl Scout Council serves communities throughout its jurisdiction, starting at the 63rd parallel, spanning north to Barrow, east to Tok, and west to the Bering Sea. Rural Girl Scouting in Alaska began in 1945 with the establishment of a troop in Nome. By 1950, two other troops were added: one in Ft. Yukon and the other in Barrow.
We strongly support and include the many cultures of rural Alaska by combining traditional “by the book” Girl Scouting with flexible programming that meets rural Alaskan girls’ needs. Furthermore, the council also assists leaders in rural Alaska create a meaningful experience for their girls by using the resources and expertise in their communities.
