Girl Scout Week

March 10-16

Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes the Girl Scout Birthday, March 12. Girl Scout Birthday, March 12, commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization's first 18 girl members in Savannah, Georgia.

Today's Girl Scout mission emphasizes founder Juliette Gordon Low's vision that all girls should have the opportunity to experience the world around them, to gain skills that will help them succeed and to provide service to their communities.
