Traditions give Girl Scouts a sense of history—and inspire them to be the best they can be.
Sharing traditions with millions of Girl Scouts—and the huge network of Girl Scout alumnae who came before them—helps remind girls they belong to a big, powerful sisterhood.

Every February 22 on World Thinking Day, Girl Scouts
participate in activities and projects with global themes to honor
their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. Thinking
Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate international
friendships, but also unites them to focus on one issue, or theme, to
make the world a better place.
Girl Scouting was founded on March 12, 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, GA. Juliette gathered 18 girls from her cousin’s school and broke the conventions of the time—reaching across class, cultural, and ethnic boundaries to ensure all girls, including those with so-called disabilities, had a place to grow and develop their leadership skills.
Girl Scout Week, the week in which Girl Scouts' birthday falls, is a time when we shout our Girl Scout pride from the rooftops! It’s also a time when many troops celebrate the connections between Girl Scouting and their faith, learn more about other faiths, and thank faith partners for their support throughout the year. Girls can join in the festivities on three specially designated dates (or a day of your choosing):
Whether they participate in a worship service, plan an activity before or after the service, or organize a service project, your girls can honor those meaningful connections in lots of ways! Check out these resources to help you plan, promote, and carry out your event with your faith partner.

And to all of our volunteers, you bring the power of Girl Scouting into girls’ lives and are the source of the Girl Scout experience. Thank you for your time, your work, and your unwavering commitment to create girls of courage, confidence, and character. By teaching her to make the world a better place, you’re doing it, too. Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month. You’re amazing!
Leader's Day - April 22
Girl Scout Leader's Day, April
22, honors all the volunteers who work as leaders and mentors in
partnership with girls. Girls, their families, and communities should
find a special way to thank their adult Girl Scout volunteers.
You make the world a better place each and every time you act with kindness, serve your community, and share Girl Scouts with others. To you, it’s just living the Girl Scout Promise and Law, but your impact on the world around you is much, much bigger than that.
