(Includes all Girl Scout levels)

Who We Are and What We Believe In
Girl Scouts of the USA was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. Girl Scouts is a non-profit organization chartered by the United States Congress. Based on sound ethical values, Girl Scouting is a movement that provides opportunities for girls to learn and work in partnership with adult volunteers.

The Promise and the Law are the guiding principles upon which Girl Scouting is founded, and are stated in the opening passages of the organization's constitution.

"Daisy" was the nickname of Juliette Low, the original Girl Scout. She started this whole Girl Scout thing in Savannah, GA almost 100 years ago!

All About Juliettes:

  • What's a Girl Scout Juliette?
    Juliettes are girls who register and participate individually in Girl Scouts. A Juliette does not attend troop meetings. She works on Girl Scout program with a parent or other adult mentor, and decides what activities she wants to participate in and which earned recognitions she wishes to work on.
  • Who can be a Juliette?
    Any girl who is 6 through 17 years of age may become a Juliette Girl Scout. Adults who mentor and/or assist a Juliette may also register as an adult Girl Scout.
  • Why be a Juliette?
    It's a great way to be in Girl Scouts when there are no available troops in your area. Some girls are too busy to be involved in a troop, but still want to do Girl Scout activities. It's a solution for girls who want to participate in council programs and choose to not be in a troop.
  • How much does it cost?
    The annual membership fee is $12.00. The fee provides accident insurance for girls participating in Girl Scout activities. Financial assistance is available.
    Programs offered throughout the year may have additional costs.
