Girl Scouts of the USA is the world’s largest organization dedicated to helping all girls everywhere build character and gain skills for success in the real world. In an accepting and nurturing environment, and in partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop strong values, leadership skills, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth that will serve them all their lives.

Founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, Girl Scouts’ membership has grown from 18 members in Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A., to nearly 4 million members throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and in more than 80 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas. 

Girls Scouts of the USA, headquartered in New York City, also supports three Web sites for girls: gogirlsonly.org, for girls 5-11; STUDIO2B.org, a community of girls 11-17; and girlsgotech.org, which is devoted to math, science and technology.
