Girl Scout Birthday/Week/Sabbath
Girl Scout Birthday, March 12
Girl Scout Birthday, March 12, commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization's first 18 girl members in Savannah, Georgia.
Girl Scout Week
Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, beginning with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes the Girl Scout Birthday, March 12. This arrangement allows for our membership of diverse faiths to celebrate on their chosen day of worship.
Girl Scout Sunday and Girl Scout Sabbath
Girl Scout Sunday and Girl Scout Sabbath give girls an opportunity to attend their place of worship and be recognized as a Girl Scout. If a place of worship is the group sponsor, girls may perform a service, such as greeting, ushering, or doing a flag ceremony. These days can also be a time when girls explore other faiths.
In 2012, Girl Scouts will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting on March 12, while also participating in activities and events throughout the year.
