Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts of the USA was founded by Juliette Gordon Low on March 12, 1912. It is the largest volunteer organization for girls in the world. Girl Scouting welcomes girls and women of all faiths and backgrounds. The Scouting experience is made richer by each individual’s voice. Together, with many friends and supporters, a positive force for good in the lives of America’s girls is created.

In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.
