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 Girl Scouts’ birthday, March 12. On that date in 1912, Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 girl members in Savannah, Georgia.
