Girl Scouts of Connecticut

The nation's first Girl Scout troop was formed in 1912, and Girl Scouts have been pitching their tents in our state since 1913. On October 1, 2007, we became one vibrant and vital organization: Girl Scouts of Connecticut. There's strength in our numbers as well as a great statistic: Girl Scouts of Connecticut is now the largest organization in the state dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Providing uncommon leadership for the common good.
