Who We Are
Girl Scouts of America is 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world.
Our extraordinary journey began more than 100 years ago with the original G.I.R.L., Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. On March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, she organized the very first Girl Scout troop, and every year since, we’ve honored her vision and legacy, building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.
South Strand Service Unit services troops in Garden City, Surfside, Forestbrook, and the Socastee area. We strive to fulfill the mission of Girl Scouting: building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
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.
— The Girl Scout Promise
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.
— The Girl Scout Law
