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 Scout Week
Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes Girl Scouts’ birthday, March 12. It is a time when we shout our Girl Scout pride from the rooftops!

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 Girl Scouts can honor those meaningful connections in lots of ways!
