About the author

Started by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, Girl Scouts of the United States of America was created to give girls chances for outdoor adventure, practical skills, leadership, and service at a time when those opportunities were often limited.

Over the decades, the organization expanded across the country and abroad, becoming known for its troop experience, badges, community projects, and of course Girl Scout Cookies. Its mission centers on helping girls grow in courage, confidence, and character.

Today, Girl Scouts is widely recognized as a major American youth organization with a long history of opening doors for girls and encouraging them to explore, lead, and make a difference.
