Overview

Girl Scouts of the USA

Founded in 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is the preeminent leadership development organization for girls, with 2.5 million members—1.8 million girls and 800,000 adults. Girl Scouts is the leading authority on girls’ healthy development, and builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Today, and spanning coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts of the USA is the largest girl focused organization in the United States and a household recognized brand. Many know the organization from its iconic Girl Scout Cookies (yes, they’re delicious!), but Girl Scouts is so much more.

As a mission driven nonprofit organization, Girl Scouts of the USA has been championing girls as they discover their dreams and work together to change the world. From navigating a rocky hiking trail to advocating for climate justice, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be themselves unapologetically as they rise to meet new challenges and discover the issues that matter most to them. GSUSA describes themselves as a team of doers, innovators, problem-solvers, creators, and dreamers collaborating to support Girl Scouts in 111 local chapters and 152 countries and engaging 50 million alumni.

Everything Girl Scouts do builds their curiosity, kindness, and can-do spirit. The Girl Scout community means girls are building their self-confidence by making friends, finding adventure, giving back to their communities, gaining leadership skills, having fun, and earning awards for their achievements. Notably, Girl Scouts of the USA believes their programs should positively impact not girls, but their families too.

That’s why 91% of caregivers say Girl Scouts is welcoming to families of all kinds; 83% of families say Girl Scouts connects them to something bigger; and 8 in 10 families say they value being part of the larger troop community. Engagement with Girl Scouts USA means better academic, social, and leadership outcomes for girls and their networks.
