GIRL SCOUT USA ORGANIZATION

The Girl Scout mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.

GSUSA was chartered by the U.S Congress on March 16, 1950. Today, there are 3.2 million Girl Scouts—2.3 million girl members and 880,000 adult members working primarily as volunteers. Through membership in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), GSUSA is part of a worldwide family of 10 million girls and adults in 145 countries.

 

 

 

WAGGGS was formed in 1928 to organize all of the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides across the globe. Every Girl Scout is a member of the international organization! Upon joining a troop, each Girl Scout receives the World Association pin, symbolic of her membership in the WAGGGS organization.
