‘Once a Girl Scout, Always a Girl Scout! ’

“Girl Scout programs continue to resonate because we move at the speed of girls. We honor our traditions while embracing innovative programs that girls want and need to succeed.”

In the 1920s, Girl Scouts could earn a badge for learning to feed, kill and dress poultry. In 2021, they were earning badges related to cybersecurity.

Girl Scouts was founded by Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah in 1912 and today has more than 2.5 million members nationwide. Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta serves more than 50,000 members in 34 counties and has three campsites.

Volunteers – including many seniors who work with the scouts -- are the heart of the organization, Dosik said.

“Whether a role is ongoing or short-term, we depend on volunteers to bring Girl Scouting to life in the community. Over the years, both Sue and Deanna have donated thousands of hours of service, making a lasting impact within our council,” Dosik said.
