Start a troop for great incentives

We know what it means to be a Girl Scout, so let's pass it on to someone else! Through March 31, new troops and service units will be rewarded when new troops are formed. Every new troop formed by March 31 will receive a troop starter pack and $2 in the troop account for every new girl added into the troop! The service unit will receive $25 for EVERY new troop formed by March 31. Start a troop and experience the joy of making a positive impact—together!

Every new troop that is started before March 31 will receive:

• Troop starter pack
• (1) Girl Guide to Girl Scouting
• (1) Badge Activity Set
• (1) Journey Book Set (girl and adult)
• $25 in their troop account
• Service Unit will receive $25 for EVERY new troop started before March 31

And, there's more! Each new troop started in February and March will also receive $2 in their troop account for every new girl added into the troop!

Each new troop must:

• Include at least four new girl members
• Have at least two approved troop leaders by March 31
• Maintain active status with visibility in the opportunity catalog until the troop reaches at least 10 members

Celebrate Girl Scout Week 2019

Yay—Girl Scout Week is just around the corner! We are so excited for this special time of year when Girl Scouts of all ages celebrate and show the world what it means to be a Girl Scout!

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.

In Girl Scouting, we set this week aside, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, to celebrate our history and spiritual beliefs. Download the calendar above for ideas for celebrating all week long! Check out our Girl Scout Week Pinterest board for a collection of fun activities.

And if you're attending your place of worship on Girl Scout Sunday, download and print these Girl Scout Sunday handouts and bulletin inserts to help spread the word about Girl Scouting and faith.

Make sure you share your fun photos from the week on our Facebook page!
