Compton Girls Club has officially opened an interest form for a new Girl Scout troop aimed at girls in grades 2 through 5. The announcement, shared via Instagram on @compton.girls.club, spotlights a troop built to inspire leadership, creativity and independence among youth in under-served neighborhoods.
Empowering Youth In Underserved Areas
“Our troop is specifically built for grades 2nd to 5th and is meant to inspire leadership, creativity, and independence in g.irls from the hood,” the post reads. Targeting communities including Compton, Willowbrook, Watts and Gardena, the initiative offers girls the chance to develop key life skills and connect with peers in their own neighborhoods. This community-driven program aligns with Compton Girls Club’s mission to provide safe, engaging outlets for local youth.
The Instagram image accompanying the announcement features a vibrant, illustrated flyer: silhouettes of girls exploring, icons of art supplies and leadership emblems, and bold text inviting families to “join our troop.” While stylized for social media, the visual underscores the group’s commitment to accessible programming in areas often overlooked by mainstream youth services.
Flexible, No-fuss Format
In a departure from traditional cookie-sales fundraising, the new troop promises “no cookie sales.” Instead, participants can focus fully on activities—two to three weekends a month from September through May—without the pressure of product drives. According to the caption, there are a limited number of “sponsored spots available,” ensuring cost won’t be a barrier for motivated families.
By removing cookie sales, organizers aim to eliminate logistical hurdles and allow more time for workshops on everything from creative arts to community service projects. “Check out the link in the bio for more information!” the post encourages, directing interested families to a simple online form.
Securing Your Spot
With only a handful of sponsored places, Compton Girls Club urges parents to sign up only if they can commit to the full season. The interest form will help organizers gauge demand and potentially open additional spots if resources allow. Families can visit the club’s Instagram bio link to complete the form and learn about any volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.
This launch follows a series of community partnerships highlighted by The Source LA (The Peoples Platform), which recently featured local relief efforts like itsbiggerthanus_ mobilizing supplies during the LA Fires. By spotlighting grassroots programs and celebrating local leadership, both Compton Girls Club and The Source LA continue to elevate positive stories from South LA.
Once registered, girls will participate in weekend meetups designed to build confidence through team-based challenges, crafts and leadership exercises. Organizers say they plan to draw on local mentors and experts to offer sessions on topics such as public speaking, environmental awareness and digital literacy.
Parents and guardians with questions about scheduling, transportation or volunteering can follow @compton.girls.club on Instagram for updates. The club also encourages partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits to enhance resources for participants.
By combining the legacy of Girl Scouts with focused community outreach, Compton Girls Club aims to create a safe space where young girls can learn, lead and thrive. As the interest form goes live, families across South LA have a new opportunity to invest in their daughters’ futures—and join a pioneering troop that puts community first.
Compton Girls Club’s new Girl Scout troop is more than an extracurricular activity—it’s a platform for girls to develop real-world skills, build lasting friendships and become tomorrow’s leaders.
