Celebrate 112 Years of Adventure: National Girl Scout Week 2024! March 10-16, 2024
February 20, 2024
It's that time of the year again—National Girl Scout Week is just around the corner and we're gearing up for a celebration like no other! Can you believe it's been 112 years since Juliette Gordon Low kick-started this incredible journey? Neither can we! Let's dive into the excitement and sprinkle some Girl Scout magic all around!
A Little History Lesson
Back in 1912 in Savannah, Georgia, Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low planted the seeds of what would grow into a global sisterhood of empowerment and adventure. With just 18 members, she set the stage for generations of girls to come together, learn, grow, and lead. Fast forward to today, and here we are, celebrating over a century of courage, friendship, and countless boxes of Thin Mints!®
Get In On The Fun!
From March 10 to March 16, it's time to embark on a week-long adventure that's all about celebrating YOU—our incredible Girl Scouts! We invite all Nebraska Girl Scouts to celebrate this momentous week with us!
We've put together a jam-packed Activity Calendar filled with fun and meaningful ways to honor the Girl Scout spirit. Check out our Activity Calendar, or better yet, get creative and plan your own Girl Scout fun!
