About Girl Scouts of the USA: Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls — all girls — where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives — like strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.    Founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, Girl Scouts’ membership has grown from 18 members in Savannah, Georgia, to 3.6million members throughout the United States. A Lasting Legacy: More than 50 million American women enjoyed Girl Scouting during their childhood — and that number continues to grow as GSUSA continues to inspire, challenge, and empower girls everywhere.
