Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.

Description:
Since 1912, Girl Scouts has shaped individuals and history. The organization promotes girls' personal growth and leadership development within a local, national, and global sisterhood. Girl Scouting offers girls the opportunity to grow through cutting-edge initiatives in the arts; outdoors; community outreach and education; environmental awareness; health and wellness; financial literacy; leadership and self-esteem; science, technology, engineering, math; and travel.

Girl Scouts of Utah impacts the lives of more than 13,000 girls and adults throughout the entire state of Utah, as well as Wendover, Nevada.

History:
Founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, Girl Scouts' membership has grown from 18 members in Savannah, Georgia, to 3.7 million members throughout the United States, including U.S. territories, and in more than 90 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas.

In 1920 a group of volunteers brought the Girl Scout program in Ogden, Utah. By 1961, a number of regional councils within Utah became incorporated as one statewide council, Girl Scouts of Utah. Our council is chartered by GSUSA, the largest voluntary organization for girls in the world.
