Girl Scouts was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. She believed passionately that girls should be given the same opportunities as boys to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In 2012, we celebrate our 100th anniversary.

• We are the largest girl-serving organization in the United States, more than three million strong.
  
• The rich diversity of our country is reflected in the multicultural mosaic of our membership.
  
• We are urban, suburban, and rural.

For 100 years, Girl Scouts has done more than any other organization to provide leadership opportunities for girls.

At any given point in time, approximately 10 percent of girls are Girl Scouts. Yet:

• Eighty percent of women business owners were Girl Scouts.
  
• Sixty-nine percent of female U.S. senators were Girl Scouts.
  
• Sixty-seven percent of female members of the House of Representatives were Girl Scouts.
  
• Virtually every female astronaut who has flown in space was a Girl Scout.
