Girl Scouts - Polk/Hordville Girl Scout Troop 763 started in the fall of 2002. The troop began with Daisies and Brownies. (Ages 5 – 7 years) Today the troop has 12 girl scouts – Daisies, Brownies, and Junior Scouts, with ages from 5 – 12 years.

The Girl Scout program is a continuous adventure in learning that offers girls activities that promote their current interests and their future roles as young women. The girls are introduced to activities in math, science, the arts, the out-of-doors, well being, and people. We hope that through this, the girls grow strong in self-confidence and well being. Our goal is to help girls become the best that they can be.

Girl Scout Troop 763 has been active in the Hordville Community through yearly town clean-up, decorating the Community Hall at Christmas time and recently the Junior Girl Scouts completed a year-long project to improve the Hordville Park. The Scouts painted equipment, installed 3 new park benches, installed a barbeque grill, and put gravel under the playground equipment to make it safer. All of this was to complete the Bronze award, the highest award given to the Junior Scouts.
The troop also works on badges through the year, go to various camps, and sell Girl Scout cookies.
