National Girl Scout Day

NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT DAY

As part of Girl Scout Week, National Girl Scout Day is observed annually on March 12 .
 

Girl Scouting in the United States of America began on this day, March 12, 1912, when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout troop meeting. At this first troop meeting in Savannah, Georgia, there were 18 girls present. For these girls, Juliette Gordon Low organized enrichment programs, service projects and outdoor activities and adventures. Since the time of the first meeting, Girl Scouts has grown to over 3.7 million members.

The organization’s original name was the Girl Guides of America. By 1920 there were close to 70,000 members. By 1930 there were over 200,000 members and in 2005 there were over 3.7 million members.
