ALUMNAE

 

Across America, more than 50 million women have been impacted by Girl Scouting. Since the inception in 1912, Girl Scouts has become the world’s preeminent organization for girls. Girl Scouts of the USA has long contributed to the success among girls and women by offering opportunities for personal and leadership development, exposure to role models, and community involvement.

 

In order to better understand what success means to the women of America and what role Girl Scouting plays in their success, GSUSA commissioned a study, Defining Success: American Women, Achievement, and the Girl Scouts. The study conducted by Louis Harris & Associates, Inc., underscores just how strongly Girl Scouting is linked to success in later life.

 

According to the study, Girl Scout alumnae have "strong positive memories" of a number of important experiences offered through Girl Scouting - such as trying new things, working with a group to accomplish a common goal, setting and achieving goals, and doing good things for the community. Most Girl Scout alumnae believe that experiences in Girl Scouting had a positive effect on their adult lives.

 

Join us and help today's girls grow strong!
