When Savannah, GA native Juliette
“Daisy” Gordon Low gathered 18 girls in 1912 to provide them the opportunity to
develop physically, mentally, and spiritually, she never could have dreamed
that 100 years later the Girl Scouts would have become the world’s most
successful organization dedicated solely to creating girl leaders.
Today there
are 3.2 million members – 2.3 million girl members and 880,000 adult
members. In addition, there are 50
million alumnae. In Girl Scouts of South
Carolina – Mountains to Midlands there are more than 12,600 girl and 5,000
adult members.
Women leaders credit Girl Scouting as
evidenced by their accomplishments.
Former Girl Scouts are currently:
- 80% of women business owners
- 68% of women in the U.S. Congress
- Five of six Governors, including South Carolina's Governor Nikki Haley
Join us as we celebrate the Year of the Girl and continue providing today's girls the support and tools they need to unleash their leadership potential in the world.
