Celebrate 114 years of Girl Scouts!
Girl Scouts’ birthday, March 12, commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 members in Savannah, Georgia. Girl Scout Week is a birthday celebration for the organization that starts with Girl Scout Sunday and ends with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday.
There are so many ways to celebrate Girl Scout Week! Here are a few ideas:
Follow along with Girl Scout week on our council social media pages.
All week long we will be sharing fun challenges and prompts to spread the Girl Scout spirit. Share some of your photos, widsom, and memories in the comments with us and be sure to tag @gseiwi in your Girl Scout Week celebrations on social media.
Celebrate your faith during Girl Scout Week
Girl Scout Week is a time when we shout our Girl Scout pride from the rooftops! It’s also a time when many troops celebrate the connections between Girl Scouting and their faith, learn more about other faiths, and thank faith partners for their support throughout the year. Girls can join in the festivities on three specially designated dates (or a day of your choosing):
- Girl Scout Sunday: Sunday March 08, 2026
- Girl Scout Birthday: Thursday, March, 12, 2026
- Girl Scout Jummah: Friday, March 13, 2026
- Girl Scout Sabbath/Shabbat: Friday, March 13 – Saturday, March 14, 2026
