Our Story

Founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, the Girl Scouts have a rich history of promoting inclusivity and empowerment. From the early days of African American troops in 1913 to the groundbreaking efforts of civil rights leaders like Mary McLeod Bethune, the Girl Scout Council of the Nations Capital has been at the forefront of advocating for equal opportunities. In 1955, the council ended segregation at its camps, and in 1972, Ethel Harvey became the first African American president of any Girl Scout council. This legacy of leadership and commitment to diversity continues to inspire girls today.

Impact

Girl Scouts dream big, belong to a sisterhood, and explore the world through hands-on adventures. With the guidance of caring adult volunteers, girls grow together as they discover, imagine, and create. The Council's programs foster personal growth and community engagement, ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to shine.
