Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
*Members may substitute for the word God
in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.

Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia
Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia believes in the power of every girl to change the world, and we offer a safe space for girls to take healthy risks, explore interests and connect with a powerful, supportive community of friends and mentors.
With support from dedicated adult volunteers, parents and staff,
Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia delivers the Girl Scout Leadership
Experience (GSLE) to over 7,000 girls and 3,000 adults in 122 counties
across Georgia as well as two counties in South Carolina and one
county in Alabama. Our council’s footprint is more than 48,000 square
miles and includes Girl
Scout First Headquarters.
Girl Scouts was founded
by Juliette Gordon Low on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia, and
every year thousands of girls still travel to Savannah to visit Girl
Scout First Headquarters. Other popular Girl Scout landmarks include
GSUSA's Juliette Gordon
Low Birthplace and Juliette's grave at Laurel Grove Cemetery
North.
As your local council, we’re your partner in all things Girl Scouts, and we can’t wait for you to get started! Whether you're a girl looking for fun programing, an adult who wants to make a difference in girls' lives by volunteering or a corporation, foundation, organization or individual that wants to support our good work through sponsorship or donation, you’ve come to the right place!
Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are nonpartisan, and do not support one political party or candidate over another. Find Girl Scouts' policies about social issues here.
Anywhere you want to go begins here.
Maybe you dream of exploring space, running your own business, or advocating for climate justice. You need somewhere to start. From writing your first code to hiking your first national park, we will help you build skills and discover talents you never knew you had.
But the most important thing you’ll discover? Who you are and everything you’re capable of accomplishing today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Mission
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Promise and Law
Girl Scouts uphold the Promise and Law in everything they do. Often recited at the start of a troop meeting or gathering, the Girl Scout Promise and Law remind us to be honest, to help people at all times, and to make the world a better place.
Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong,
and responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place,
and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
