QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the aim of this site is to show girls what it's like to be a Girl Scout (or a Daisy or Brownie, as the younger scouts are called) -- all by promoting character, kindness, and responsibility. The site requires no membership and is easy to navigate, meaning anyone can enjoy the wholesome games and quizzes and ask questions. It does link to the main Girl Scouts site.
What's it about?
Girls will enjoy spending time on GOGIRLSONLY.ORG, whether or not they're curious about the Girl Scouts. There are quizzes tailored to preteen concerns and the opportunity to email questions to "Dr. M. and Molly," a therapist and a teenager who address questions about friendship, menstruation, and body image. The game called "Uniquely Me" lets girls create a virtual collage by answering questions like "favorite color" and "someone I admire" and then dragging icons into a frame to create a printable poster celebrating their favorite things. Other links explain how a Daisy graduates to being a Brownie and finally a Scout, a very complicated process involving lots of steps.
Is it any good?
GoGirlsOnly.org is a cute and colorful site whose only downside is that the content is a little thin. But what is there promotes healthy self-image and environmental awareness, along with the traditional Girl Scout values of character, kindness, and responsibility -- qualities that never go out of style.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about what it means to be a part of a group. You can look at the site together and discuss the long history of the Girl Scouts. Was Mom a Girl Scout? Or Grandma? Look on the alumnae page to find out about Girl Scouts from the previous generations. How have things changed? How can you promote the ideals of what being a Scout is all about in everyday life?

Good site for Girl Scouts
This is a nice little site, but there's not much to it. Girl Scouts can write to an advice columnist, participate in polls, and submit their original writings. My daughter likes it, but runs out of things to do on it in 5-10 minutes flat. It is not updated frequently. Also, some of the poetry that has appeared as "original" work was actually plagiarized (it was quickly removed after it was reported.) This site has promise, and it perfectly safe.
