Who We Are
     Founder Juliette Gordon Low organized the first group of Girl Scouts on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. Today, there are 3.6 million Girl Scouts nationwide-2.7 million girl members and 860,000 adult members. 
     Girl Scouts of Broward County, Inc. is a part of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls-all girls-where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives-like strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.

What We Do 
     In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skills-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong.
     Girl Scouting helps girls: 
     Develop their full individual potential.
     Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill and respect.
     Develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making.
     Contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills and cooperation with others.

     For 95 years, the Girl Scout Promise and Law have served as a moral compass, guiding girls to personal success.
