History:

Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah , Georgia , on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air; Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid.

Within a few years, Juliette Low's dream for a girl-centered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA has a membership of nearly four million girls and adults, a significant growth from its modest beginnings more than a century ago. In fact, more than 50 million women in the U.S. today are Girl Scout alumnae; 82% of our high-achieving alumnae credit the skills they learned in Girl Scouts for their success.
