Overview

As a contemporary Girl Scout, you may feel disconnected from Girl Scout Founder Juliette Low - before computers, CDs, cell phones, VCRs and DVDs, and even microwave ovens.

But as a Girl Scout, you are rooted in the same philosophy and values by which the early Girl Scouts lived. Use this calendar as a reminder of new and established celebrations along with other significant dates.

For your convenience, a list of all Girl Scout Celebrations is included below. Please select a month from the list to the left to view a complete list of all important dates and reminders.
