Girl Scout

Young badge earner

A Girl Scout is a member of the Girl Scouts of the USA, a youth organization for girls that emphasizes outdoor skills, community service, and personal development.

The term extends informally to describe someone notably wholesome, helpful, or rule-following: She's such a Girl Scout—she'd never cheat on a test.

Girl Scout cookies are the organization's famous fundraising product.
