Girl Scouts United States has been around since 1912, but the unique Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts was formed in 2008 by a merge of Patriots Trail Girl Scouts, Spar and Spindel Girl Scouts, and Girl Scouts of South Eastern Massachusetts. Together as Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, they believe "Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place" and a better community. This great youth group serves 45,000 girls ages 5-17 and 17,000 adult volunteers in the 178 communities in Eastern Massachusetts alone.
The Waltham Regional office of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts is located on Beaver Street near Waverly Oaks Road. It has been there since 1923. Please note that the office is only for Girl Scout related business and is not open to the general public.
This office handles administrative and other issues for Girl Scout troops in Waltham and the surrounding communities. It also oversees operation of the Cedar Hill Outdoor Program Centers, which host day camps during the summer and other troop events the rest of the year. There is also a Girl Scouts Musuem on the property, which is open by appointment. This office also sponsors an event on Waltham Historic Day every year as part of their local community support programs. This event is open to the public.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts have over 45,000 members, 17,000 volunteers and covers from the Mass North Shore to Cape Cod. Please contact them for more information.
