Your Global Connection

Did you know that by being a member of Girl Scouts you are automatically a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)? GSUSA is a member organization of WAGGGS, which means you are a member too!
So, what does this mean? It means that not only have you gained 3.2 million sister Girl Scouts, but a total of 10 million girls and adults in 145 countries! Talk about a big family!!
Girl Guides was established in 1910 in England and was part of the inspiration for our founder, Juliette Gordon Low, to establish Girl Scouts here in America.
Check out more about WAGGGS here.

There is also Global Girl Scouting,which is dedicated to ensuring the Girl Scout Movement provides opportunities for girls to understand your relationship to the larger world - even if you don't travel outside your local community - so you can become a responsible global citizen. Find out more about what that means here.


Don't forget about our USA Girl Scouts Overseas (USAGSO) for that global connection too! USAGSO serves thousands of American girls living overseas and girls attending American or international schools. USAGSO offers the same excitement, fun, and adventures in Girl Scouting as those available to their stateside Girl Scout sisters. They help families and girls who have relocated to another country transition to the new culture and land with the familiar Girl Scout family.

Enjoy Girl Scouts here and around the world!
