Girl Scout Week
Throughout the year, girls and adults celebrate some very special days in Girl Scouting. Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes the Girl Scout Birthday, March 12, which commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization's first 18 girl members in Savannah, Georiga. Girl Scouts is celebratingn 143 years this March!
Girl Scout Sunday and Girl Scout Sabbath give girls and opportunity to attend their place of worship to be recognized as a Girl Scout. If a place of worship is a sponsor, girls may perform a service, such as greeting, or doing a flag ceremony. Check out these Girl Scouts Celebrate Faith resources to begin planning a Girl Scout Sunday or Girl Scout Sabbath celebration.
Celebrate Girl Scout Week every day with a special theme to help you celebrate, learn, explore, grow, and have fun!
- Sunday, March 8: Girl Scout Sunday & Spirit Sunday. Do something kind in the spirit of Girl Scouts. Spread some joy today with a simple act of kindness—compliment a stranger or lend a hand to a neighbor.
- Monday, March 9: Affirmation Monday. Share a positive message with a friend. Start the week with good vibes! Post a positive quote or text a friend something that’ll brighten their day.
- Tuesday, March 10: Troop Tuesday. Appreciate your awesome troop besties. Check in with a fellow Girl Scout and see how you can support each other this week! Consider sending a 'cheer' within Digital Cookie. Alums can get in on the fun too by celebrating their former troopmates!
- Wednesday, March 11: Wisdom Wednesdsay. Share a Girl Scout pro tip or life hack. From building new skills to life-changing discoveries, share something useful or meaningful that you learned from a Girl Scout adventure.
- Thursday, March 12: Girl Scout Birthday & National Girl Scout Day. You can throw a party for Girl Scouts. Learn more about Juliette Gordon Low and Girl Scout History! Share your Girl Scout pride by rocking any and all Girl Scout apparel or uniforms to school or work! Then share a pic on social, remember to tag @girlscouts and use #NationalGirlScoutDay.
- Friday, March 13: Flash Forward Friday or Flashback Friday. Make your plans for a brighter future! Dream big! Share a goal you’re excited about with a friend. Or look back and share your Girl Scout memories. We imagine volunteers and alums will want to participate in Flashback Friday while Girl Scouts will be more excited about Flash Forward Friday!
- Saturday, March 14: Girl Scout Sabbath & Service Saturday. Serve your community as a sisterhood. Give back by volunteering at a local shelter or lending a helping hand to those in need.
