Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia Information

Girl Scout Mission Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scout Promise and Law The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people; the Law outlines a way to act towards one another and the world. Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia believes in the power of every girl to change the world, and we offer a safe space for girls to take healthy risks, explore interests and connect with a powerful, supportive community of friends and mentors. With support from dedicated adult volunteers, parents and staff, Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia delivers the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) to over 8,000 girls and 3,000 adults in 122 counties across Georgia as well as two counties in South Carolina and one county in Alabama. Our council’s footprint is more than 48,000 square miles and includes Girl Scout First Headquarters. Girl Scouts was founded by Juliette Gordon Low on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia, and every year thousands of girls still travel to Savannah to visit Girl Scout First Headquarters. Other popular Girl Scout landmarks include GSUSA's Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace and Juliette's grave at Laurel Grove Cemetery North.
