edit Title

Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council

edit Description

The Girl Scouting movement began in the United States in March 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low started the first troop in Savannah, Georgia. Inspired by her friendship with Lord Baden Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts in the United Kingdom, Low wanted to provide a similar opportunity "for the girls" in America. Although her first troop only had 18 members, the Girl Scout movement has since grown to include over 4 million girls in the United States alone.

Girl Scouting helps girls to grow strong in a supportive, fun atmosphere. The Girl Scout Program has four major goals: a girl will develop to her full, individual potential; she will relate to others with increased understanding, skill, and respect; she will develop values to guide her actions and to provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and she will contribute to the improvement of society.

The Girl Scouts of the USA is the organization that governs the Movement in the United States. GSUSA charters individual Girl Scout councils to deliver the Girl Scout Program to girls on a local level.
