About Girl Scouts

History

The National History of Girl Scouts:
Imagine you are a contemporary Girl Scout living in a world where much has changed since Girl Scout founder Juliette Low's time. You may feel disconnected from that world of the early 20th century - before computer science, CDs, answering machines, VCRs and microwave ovens. But as a Girl Scout, you are rooted in the same philosophy and values by which early Girl Scouts lived.

What Girl Scouts Stand For

The Girl Scout Mission:
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

The Girl Scout Promise:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all time,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law:
I will do my best: to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
