How to Find Local Girl Scouts

More than 50 million women in the United States have been involved in the Girl Scouts.

Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girls Scouts in 1912 with the goal of helping girls develop physically, mentally and spiritually. Today, 3.4 million girls and adults are part of the Girl Scout organization and are committed to diversity, inclusiveness and service to the community. Girl Scout troops are located in every state, and 90 countries have Girl Scouts of the USA troops that serve Americans living abroad.
