Girl Scouts

Trefoil youth organization

Girl Scouts is a youth organization in the United States founded in 1912, serving girls from kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Members participate in community service, outdoor activities, and the famous cookie sales that fund troop activities: She sold more Girl Scouts cookies than anyone in her troop.

A member is called a Girl Scout.

The organization operates through local councils and troops. (Lowercase girl scouts refers generically to young female scouts.)
