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.
Stay Connected, Change a Girl’s Life
As Girl Scout Alumnae, you know firsthand how transforming
a positive program can be in a girl’s life. Whether
you are actively involved with Girl Scouts or not, you can
stay connected through the National Girl Scout Alumnae Program.
What Else Can You Do?
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character,
who make the world a better place. You can get involved at
various levels:
- Spread the Word
Imagine the cumulative effect of 50 million alumnae standing up on behalf
of girls. Reach out and tell your friends and family to register as Girl
Scout Alumnae.
- Make a Donation

specific girl, to commemorate your own years in Girl Scouting or to celebrate
a woman who was there for you when you were a girl.
- Share Your Story
What is your fondest Girl Scout memory? Perhaps it was camping out for the
first time or attending a father/daughter dance. Share your story.

Girl Scouts USA Alumnae Association
The
Girl Scouts Alumnae Association officially launched on June
9, 2007, when Girl Scouts celebrated its 95th anniversary
with a Sing-Along on the Mall in Washington, D.C.
The newly formed Girl Scouts Alumnae Association seeks to
reconnect women who were once part of Girl Scouts, the premier
organization for girls. As individuals, these women have
made an indelible imprint on the fabric of society. Together,
they have the potential to represent one of the largest,
most diverse, and powerful networks of women in the world. http://www.girlscouts.org/for_adults/alumnae
