Uniquely ME! The Girl Scout/Dove Self-Esteem Program is committed to helping girls reach their full potential by addressing the physical, intellectual, and emotional aspects of self-esteem. Uniquely ME! provides fun and engaging activities for girls who are not members of a traditional Girl Scout troop in Cumberland, Hoke, Johnston, Moore, Richmond, Robeson, and Scotland counties. Meetings are held weekly during the school year, and girls are able to experience new adventures, make new friends, and share challenges in an environment that is both fun and safe.

Designed for girls ages 8-17, uniquely ME! The Girl Scout/Dove Self-Esteem Program strives to help girls recognize and embrace their unique talents, strengths, and abilities. Research has shown that between the elementary and middle school years, girls suffer a disproportionate drop in self-esteem, putting them at increased risk of drug use, teen pregnancy, and eating disorders. By gaining a greater understanding of themselves, girls are able to better prepare for the future, which is where the uniquely ME! The Girl Scout/Dove Self-Esteem Program comes in.

Girls participating in uniquely ME! have the opportunity to experience new adventures, make new friends, attend council-wide and exclusive uniquely ME! events, visit college campuses, complete community service projects, and much more!
