Girl Scouts of America (GSA) is no longer an organization. Girl Scouts of America was founded in 1910 by Clara Lisetor-Lane and was unable to sustain membership and died out within a few years.
The first GSUSA troop in the USA in 1912 was called 'Girl Guides of America'. In June of 1913, the name was changed to 'Girl Scouts of the US' (GSUS) and a headquarters was established in Washington, D.C. In 1915, the organization was incorporated as 'Girl Scouts, Inc.' under the laws of the District of Columbia. In 1950, 'Girl Scouts of the USA' (GSUSA)was re-incorporated under a Congressional Charter.
You may join GSUSA by contacting your local Girl Scout council, filling out a membership form, paying your national membership dues, and sharing the Girl Scout Promise and Law. See the Related Link for a way to find your local Girl Scout council's website by entering your zip code.

Why does the Lutheran religion prohibit joining Girl Scouts?
There are many Lutheran girls who are members of Girl Scouts. In fact, there is a National Lutheran Association on Scouting which supports scouting in both Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) churches. It also supports the earning of the PRAY religious emblems. However, there are some Lutheran Synods which do not allow girls to join Girl Scouts.
