Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA), commonly referred to as simply Girl Scouts, is a youth organization for girls in the United States and American girls living abroad.[2]
It was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912, a year after she had met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting.[3]
The stated mission of the Girl Scouts is to "[build] girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place"[4] through activities involving camping, community service, and practical skills such as first aid. Members can earn badges by completing certain tasks and mastering skills. More senior members may be eligible for awards, such as the Girl Scout Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards.[5] Membership is organized according to grade, with activities designed for each level. The organization is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).[6]
