Team Summary
We are FTC team 6037, We Are Girls Scouts (WAGS), a seventh year FTC team from the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey (GSCSNJ) Council.
WAGS was founded in 2012 by members of the Girl Scout FLL team “Green Machine” after their time at the FIRST World Championships. When exploring the FTC pits at Worlds, five 8th grade members decided to start a new Girl Scout FTC team in the fall of 2012 so that they could continue competing in FIRST robotics.
Our name, We Are Girl Scouts, represents our commitment to promoting the goals and values of the Girl Scouts organization while working within their guiding principles.
As WAGS begins our eighth year in FTC, we continue to pursue this passion for STEM and FIRST robotics with just as much drive as when we started, even though all founding members of our team have aged out of the FIRST program!
