The first country to have a Girl Scout was most likely the United Kingdom.
A Boy Scout rally was held in 1909 in the United Kingdom. Several girls attended proclaiming themselves to be Scouts. Robert Baden-Powell chose the name "Girl Guides" and decided that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his elder sister, Agnes, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.
Before 1910, many countries already had Girl Scout troops.
First, you sign up to be a Girl Scout. Then you are ready to sign up for Girl Scout camp! In addition: Some Girl Scout councils offer girls a chance to attend Girl Scout camp by including the membership registration fee as part of the camp fee. So, even if you are not a Girl Scout, by signing up to attend Girl Scout camp you become a member of Girl Scouts.

It depends on who is asking the questions and why they are asking questions. If you are asking about becoming a Girl Scout: What activities do Girl Scouts do?

Why do Girl Scouts sell cookies? If you are a Girl Scout and will be questioning the children: Who was Juliette Gordon Low? Who started Scouting? What do you want to know about Girl Scouts?
