Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's largest organization dedicated to all girls,
helping them to build character and gain success for the real world. There
are almost four million Girl Scouts; 2.8 million girl members, and 986,000
adult members working primarily as volunteers today. The Girl Scout national
headquarters is in New York City, with over 400 employees. They work very
hard to make today’s young girls become tomorrow’s leaders.
The organization has been around
for 92 years, started in March 12, 1912 by Juliette
Gordon Low. Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low believed that all girls
should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and
spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of their 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. Now, her dream is a reality.
Girl Scouts of USA (GSUSA) was
chartered by the United States Congress in 1950. GSUSA is part of a worldwide
family of 8.5 million girls and adults in 144 countries. It is a non profit
organization.
