The Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) was founded on March 12, 1912, by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia. Juliette Gordon Low, also known as "Daisy," was inspired to establish an organization for girls after meeting Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides (which later became the Girl Scouts in the United Kingdom).
Juliette Gordon Low envisioned an organization that would help girls develop physically, mentally, and spiritually, while also preparing them for leadership roles. The first Girl Scout meeting in the United States took place on March 12, 1912, with 18 girls in attendance. From this modest beginning, the Girl Scouts movement grew and evolved into a widely recognized and influential organization for girls and young women.
Today, the Girl Scouts of the USA is a well-established organization with a focus on empowering girls through a variety of programs and activities that promote leadership, character development, and community service. The Girl Scouts' iconic cookies, sold annually as part of fundraising efforts, have become a symbol of the organization's impact and reach.
