Girl Scout Week | March 2025
Celebrate 113 Years of Girl Scouting
Girl Scout Week is a time when we shout our Girl Scout spirit from the rooftops and honor the Girl Scout Movement. The week includes Girl Scouts’ Birthday on March 12, which commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization's first 18 members in Savannah, Georgia.
Let's celebrate Girl Scout Week and the 113th Birthday of the Girl Scout Movement. For 113 years, Girl Scouts have found a way to dream big and do good. You create the world you want to live in and strive to make it better every single day. You explore your strengths, take on new challenges, and can always be yourself.
Supported by adult volunteers and mentors right here in our community, as well as millions of alums around the globe, Girl Scouts lead the way as you discover who you are and how you can make the future a brighter place.
