Alumnae Information

Once a Girl Scout, Always a Girl Scout

Since 1912, millions of women have had their lives positively influenced— sometimes even transformed—by their Girl Scout experience. Whether you are one of the 50 million women who were Girl Scouts, including Brownie Scouts, or you were a volunteer or staff member who worked at the national or local level to help Girl Scouts reach their full potential, you are forever connected to a rich and vibrant movement.

It is estimated that there are more than 50 million Girl Scout alumnae. The first Girl Scout troops began before women were given the right to vote.

• Today, more than 90 years later, there is a “Troop Capitol Hill” made up entirely of congresswomen who are honorary Girl Scouts.
• Nearly 70% of the women in the U.S. Congress today were former Girl Scouts.
• 53% of all women business owners are Girl Scout alumnae.
