Why Green for Good?
It’s in Girl Scouts’ DNA. Our founder, Juliette Gordon Low, was a famous lover of nature. Today, Girl Scouts honors her legacy by promoting respect and love of the great outdoors far and wide.
Through Girl Scouting, girls learn to value the Earth as their home and are inspired to develop a lasting commitment to the environment through care, conservation, and responsibility.
