Girl Scout Week 2024 is almost here! From March 10-16 we are celebrating 112 years of Girl Scouting and are welcoming our amazing communities to join us. There are PLENTY of fun activities in store as we celebrate another year of courage, confidence, and character.
Girl Scouts' birthday
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.
- Celebrate Girl Scout birthday by collecting and assembling birthday bags for shelters, hospitals, senior living facilities, foster agencies, etc. Remember to always contact an organization to verify that they will be able to accept the donation.
Girl Scouts Celebrate Faith
Girl Scout Week is 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):
- Girl Scout Sunday: Sunday, March 10, 2024
- Girl Scout Jummah: Friday, March 15, 2024
- Girl Scout Sabbath/Shabbat: Friday, March 15 - Saturday March 16, 2024
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.
Girl Scouts Celebrate Faith Flyers: Add your event details to these customizable flyers and ask your faith partner to share in their newsletter or bulletin.
