Girl Scout Founder’s Day is observed each year on October 31. This is a day to appreciate not only the founder of Girl Scouts but all the great things Scouting has done for girls since its inception.
Girl Scout Founder’s Day is a special day for all girls. It is a time to think about who we would like to be, let our imaginations run wild and turn those dreams into a reality. We can genuinely transform ourselves into something different—something bigger, bolder and more daring than we ever thought possible.
