Did you know? Girl Scouts was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912. The 1912 Club celebrates Girl Scouts' founding and helps us keep the Movement going strong in Southern Illinois! This festive patch is available for girl members, volunteers, alums, and friends to display with pride! Your gift of $19.12 will help us continue to provide financial assistance, so that every girl in our communities has the opportunity to become a Girl Scout.
