Girl Scout Week starts from Girl Scout Sunday and ends on Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday to mark the great sisterhood of Girl Scouting and to commemorate the day when the organization was bom. This year, it takes place from March 9 to 15. Did you know that Juliette Gordon Low got the idea of founding the Girls Scouts after meeting with the founder of Scouting, Robert Baden-Powell, in 1911? Girl Scouts, also known as the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, is a youth organization for girls of American origin. It runs camping and community service activities to empower young girls and enable them to build various skills, including leadership, entrepreneurship, active citizenship, confidence, compassion, and courage.
