Girl Scouts in the Upstate and Midlands celebrate 110 Years
March 13, 2022
For 110 years, Girl Scouts have found a way to dream big and do good. From reaching the outer limits of space to stocking their local food pantry, there is no challenge too big or need too small for a Girl Scout to tackle. Since day one, girls have found a way to create a better future for themselves, their communities, and the world.
Saturday, March 12, the 110th birthday of Girl Scouts, we will celebrate the problem solvers, go-getters, dreamers, and doers who are creating a better future for us all.
