Why are there Girl Scouts?

Answer 1

Juliette Gordon Low created Girl Scouts to create something like Boy Scouts, so girls could not only build confidence and character, but build skills and etiquette.

In addition:

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.

Juliette Gordon Low met Lord Baden-Powell, became interested in the Scouting Movement, helped start Girl Guide troops in London and Scotland, and then came home to the USA where she started the first American Girl Guide troop in 1912. Juliette Gordon Low is considered the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA.

Answer 2

Honestly, not much. Sometimes the field trips are fun.

Another view:

A lot of it depends on the troop you are a part of, how much you are able to participate, and if you truly follow the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Our troop tried to plan as many activities as the girls wanted to do. They made many things including SWAPS, hosted a dinner, made things to sell, played games, sang songs, went camping, ate lots of food and cooked lots of meals and snacks, went caroling, ran many events, participated in many community service projects, and traveled -- even going to Disney World! They earned all kinds of badges and awards and made many new friends.

A third view:

I think that Girl Scouts can provide a lot of good experience for young children.

Answer 3

Girl Scouts need money to pay the cost for all the outings they do like going camping, to pay for the costs associated with completing badge requirements, and to pay expenses for service projects.

Answer 5

Girl Scouts wear uniforms to show that they are members of a national organization: Girl Scouts of the USA.

They also wear uniforms to show the awards they have received, the badges they have earned, and events they have participated in.
