What is Girl Scout Week?
Girl Scouts across the country celebrate the week that includes March 12 as Girl Scout Week because March 12 is the anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouting in the United States. The week begins the Sunday prior to March 12, and concludes the following Saturday. During Girl Scout Week it is customary for Girl Scout troops or groups to do a service project and to learn more about the history of Girl Scouting, about the life of founder Juliette Gordon Low, or about government in their own communities.
