March 12 is Girl Scout Day. It’s the anniversary of the day that the Girl Scouts were founded in 1912 in Savannah, Georgia by Juliette Gordon Low (in the center of the above picture).
About much more than cookies, there are more than 3.7 million Girl Scout members today and more than 40 million American women have been Girl Scouts during their youth. Girl Scouts are also a part of the larger, worldwide Girl Guide organization that has over 10 million members in 145 countries.
